– An anti-corruption organization has exonerated the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board registrar Ishaq Oloyede
– The organization said Oloyede did nothing wrong during his tenure as the vice chancellor of the University of Illorin
An anti-corruption group has said that the JAMB registrar Ishaq Oloyede has done nothing wrong
An anti-corruption organization, Centre for social justice, equity and transparency (CESJET) has said that all allegations against the registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board Ishaq Oloyede are false.
CESJET said Oloyede did nothing wrong in the N2 billion fraud as alleged by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday, January 10, CESJET convener Ikpa Isaac said the petition served on the registrar by the ASUU officials is self-serving.

Some ASUU members had petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on activities of Oloyede during his tenure as the vice chancellor of University of Illorin.
Oloyede was accused of being involved in a N2 billion fraud.
However, the Isaac said it is on record that JAMB has been firm about the admission processes since the new registrar came on board.
He said the board has also taken a tough stance against the questionable courses that some lecturers have introduced without the necessary approvals.
“We further have it on good authority that the union members are not comfortable with the reforms
“The petition to the EFCC is therefore part of a wider plan to get rid of Professor Oloyede and reverse the gains that the Board has made. If the reforms he is implementing at the examination body are disrupted then the future of tertiary education in the country is in jeopardy,” Isaac said.

“For us it would be a sad situation if unionists from a few universities can deprive other universities, polytechnics and colleges of education the opportunity to get quality candidates just for their own selfish gains.
“To the extent that all the allegations that ASUU and its officials have made against Professor Oloyede have been found to be false, malicious and mischievous we are calling on the union to without further delays tender an unreserved apology to the man.”
“Instead of maligning Professor Oloyede for his exemplary qualities the ASUU unionists would do well to emulate him and become better persons that can contribute to the nation in meaningful ways,” Isaac added.
