Nigerians from all works of life have commended the Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Is’haq Olanrewaju Oloyede for returning N5 billion to government treasury just within a year. Consequently, the entire forward looking, progressive Nigerians and the Muslim community have been celebrating Professor Oloyede, a scholar in the finest tradition, former Vice Chancellor, University of Ilorin and a Professor of Islamic Jurisprudence for remitting N5 billion into the government coffer for the first time since 1999. A survey by the Renaissance shows that social media, news stands and various joints are still filled with the news, commendations, surprise and consternation with almost the incredible story in a clime where Chief Executive Officers of government ministries, parastatals and agencies see such position as an opportunity to enrich themselves.

The JAMB Registrar achieved this feat due to his Administrative acumen after successfully conducting 2017 JAMB Examination. It is a living fact that all these years, JAMB has always begged Government for money. Oloyede succeeded in blocking all loopholes without compromising standards. As if that is not enough, Oloyede is even contemplating reducing JAMB fees in 2018 to relieve poor Nigerians!

Speaking to Renaissance on this development, a Doctor of Philosophy from a notable South-West university commended the giant strides, which he said contradicted the previous practice that was riddled with corruption and malpractices. “We are proud of Oloyede. This is a far cry from the previous administrations, particularly that of Professor Dibu Ojerinde who reportedly returned only N3 million into the government coffer. We must give it to Oloyede and his team.


If this is the ‘Islamisation’ of Nigeria being touted around, let the detractors keep crying wolf and raising phony alarms; let the good job continues. “Let those enemies of Nigeria give us examples of their own products. As Muslims we are proud of our illustrious sons and daughters like Prof Oloyede, Dr Amina Muhammed, Professor Attahiru Jega, Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Justice Ayo Salami, MKO Abiola, President Muhammadu Buhari, Gen Tunde Idiagbon, Murtala Ramat Muhammed and the likes for their honesty, transparency, probity and fear of God. But unfortunately, our hypocrisy-infested mass media will not give this much prominence,” he said. Similarly, a civil servant with the Lagos state government, Mrs Josephine Adeola lauded the achievement of the JAMB Registrar.

“This is a a kind of leaders Nigeria requires at the time unlike what the leadership of the National Assembly is showcasing to the world. I am a Christian but I don’t mind whoever is in the leadership as long as he or she rules well,” she said. By Adeyinka Abdullah

Ok

That's a good one. Keep it Up. Honesty pays in this our life.

Religion has done more harms to peoples mind than any other thing..

in a country were stealing has become the norm, it has become necessary to celebrate people lik this.
lalasticlala abeg the world should see this

It is N5Billion, not N5.2B nor N5.09B nor N5.3B; Just a round N5Billion.

God dey.

Rubbed JAMB candidates of seamless registration exercise and it's subsequent examination just to make money for the FG?

Applaud him all you want, but not from the jambites.

I hope it goes back to Education fundings.

I hope those mentioning nd praising patriotic Nigerians as their muslim illustrious nd daughters re also proud of Abubakar Shekau, mohammed yusuf, kabiru Sokoto, Ali modu sheriff, saraki, yerima nd the rest cos they are also products of their religion.
We need to stop seeing hardworking, patriotic Nigerias through the lenses of any Religion.
They re hardworking, they are patriotic, they are proudly Nigerians.
We should stop all these religious madness biko.
These religions were brought to us in Africa. They weren't ours. U can't be more religious than those who founded it.
Religion has become a tool of oppression and anarchy in Nigeria.
Enough is Enough.

Nice one

I want to be like him when I grow up

Yawns

After keeping how much for himself. Yeye dey smell. He returned 5 Billion and some cows are busy saying he is a Muslim. So Muslims don't steal? Why dint they mention crooks like Saraki, abi na idol worshipper im be?

Thank you Sai Baba.

They left out their other prominent and honest sons like Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar , Abacha, IBB, Dasuki etc.

We have relatively cheap plots of land for sale in Trans-Ekulu,new GRA, old GRA, and Emene,all in Enugu with documents verifiable at the Enugu State ministry of lands.
Call:0-8-1-0-5-8-6-6-4-7-3*

This is commendable, if all the claims are true.

What I don't understand, however, is the attempt to "religionize" or "islamize" the Prof's feat. Are they telling us he achieved this "because" he's a Muslim?

Very commendable I must say. But why do we insist on dividing ourselves along ethnic and religious lines?
