Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, yesterday accused the management of an unnamed tertiary institution of sending the names of over 27 groundnut sellers to his organisation for regularization and mobilisation for the one-year compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

The revelation came on the heels of the management of the NYSC accusing the management of tertiary institutions of frustrating full deployment of ICT in the
mobilisation of corps members. Ojerinde, who made the remark at the 2015 Batch ‘A’ Pre-mobilisation Workshop in Abkhaz yesterday, argued that he equally
experienced some frustration from higher institutions and even his board members when he introduced the same biometrics in the conduct of JAMB examination.

“It is good that I have this opportunity to speak to the representatives of the higher institutions. I want to ask whether this trend of mobilising unqualified prospective corps members into the NYSC scheme was this how you were mobilised during your own days.?

“There is a university where over 5,000 graduates were mobilised. We have to make a commitment to sanitise the system by doing the appropriate thing. There were 27 persons a particular institution mobilised for NYSC selling ‘pepper nut’ or groundnut in front of the university.

“A corps member was posted to JAMB to serve, the director under which he would serve said he could not write his name. We wondered how could that be and invited him to my office, asked him which university he attended, he simply replied ‘na UNN. I called the NYSC coordinator in Bwari to come and take your thing because I know he is not a corps member,” he said.

Similarly, the Director General of the NYSC, Brig General J. B. Olawumi, in his opening remarks, accused some CPIs of not living up to the agreement of appropriately sensitising their graduating students on the benefits of the newly introduced ICT registration platform.

UNN of all schools can not do this. Arrest that guy and interrogate him properly

And when you Name the Top schools in Nigeria Excluding UNN some Gadam ppl would antagonise.......

SMH FOR NAIJERIA

OMG!!!! Shame on you


Nothing seems to work in this country except corruption

There are two universities in Nigeria...University of Nigeria Nsukka AND others!!!He remembered UNN cuz itz the most popular Varsity in/outside Nigeria,so interrogate him and see he must be from Bello or Awolowo university!I knw UNN ryt wen I was 4years....and peharps,everybody here in Singapore knows it.

The problem is the Nigerian idea that the certificate makes the person, not the knowledge , or the experience.

Until we get rid of our obsession with certificates....we will see more of fake corpers and fake applicants.

How did the grandnut sellers pay for this service? I know the money involved is not a chicken change

Unh,nah Nigeria u see all this,soon,government will soon give BOKO HARAM awards of peace and create pension for them

And, do you have a contribution to the topic at hand, my children?

I hope you realise that this is an important issue....unless you want to be treated by a doctor with fake qualifications, have your investments handled by a banker with diploma mill antecedents, or your children taught by a fake teacher.

I trust my Alma mata! Of the Greatest Ife can never do something of such. The number 1 school in the country. For those of you that school in France am talking of Obafemi Awolowo University.

This is sad.
The standard of education in Nigeria is zilch. The elites send their children abroad for the best education and qualification. After which, they come bavk to Nigeria and take up all the juicy spots.
What can you learn in a school like UNN?? or any federal school at that?

How many federal and state schools has championed innovations and researches?

Private schools like convenant and Lagos business school is really wining and doing better than these dilapidated federal school.
Everything in Nigeria needs to be over hauled.


Ps. Follow me on nairaland and I follow back.

My producers have given hits to all the A-list artists in Nigeria.

hmm,thats bad,really bad

This can never happen in France where i'm schooling.

All we do is cheat cheat cheat no matter what!
Besides sef I av personally seen some daft graduates frm unna and some eastern schs..,northern schs nt left out too

Imagine, with all that hype in UNN! They could fall for this trap and accusations? Sack the VC.

Why won't they name the university involved? They are regulators for crying out loud.

People from that particular region can do anything for money.

Ego nawah o. They can give pepper seller PhD so far, the price is good.
