It is so unfortunate that we have Nigerian youths who claim to be literates but obviously not educated. They find it difficult to be well educated and well informed about issues. And honestly an impatient person Will always lack in information because he cant pay attention to details, he can’t read between lines of words, he is been controlled by pre conceived or presumed notions.
Eighty percent of our comment really shows that we are not well informed on this issue.
On the 1st of August, Prof Dibu Ojerinde ( the former Jamb registrar) and 16 others were fired by Buhari owing reasons best known to him then. In that same year, Prof Ishaq Oleyede was appointed as the new registrar. Prof. Oloyede who was earlier known as a man that doesn’t tolerate nonsense while he was the VC of Unilorin was also known to be a leader with foresight and capacity to bring in new innovations started his reforms in the organization by first abolishing the use of scratch cards for registration, and had to take his time to ensure better conduct and atmosphere in the writing of subsequent examinations. This lead to the lag in the administering the examination last year as it was not conducted early.
To cut the long story short, Jamb was able to remit 7.8 billion Maura into the Fg’s purse last year, that would be the first of its kind. The highest amount ever remitted after conducting Utme had never reached one billion Naira. This was what prompted Federal Government to suggest that that previous dealing in Jamb should be probed. So these revelations are as a result of the probes. Oloyede was not yet on board when scratch cards were used, so it has nothing to do with him, infact if not for him, all these will not be revealed. It has to do with past Jamb administrations beginning from Prof Dibu Ojerinde
