Anyone that doesn't kowtow to your Xtian delusional warped idea is a jihadist. So typical of the shallow, low IQ irrational diatribes of the brainwashed IPIG terrorist monkeys.
Instead of you IPIG terrorist monkeys to wonder why Allen Oyenma hasn't been extradited to the same FBI for bank and wire fraud charges since last year, you are here displaying the usual wailing and crying cacophony of the hate filled and often delusional IPIG terrorist monkeys.

It is unfortunate that we call tyranny good governance.
The same man creating stiffening system that fustrates young kids from gaining admission through his fanaticism is called messiah.

There is no doubt that since his appointment as the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) five years ago, Prof. Is’haq Oloyede has remained one of the most visible poster boys of President Muhammadu Buhari’s war against corruption. The reason is simple: The Professor of Islamic Jurisprudence and former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin has so sanitised the operations of the tertiary institutions’ admission body in five years that it seems that the 44-years old Board had never been in any tangible operational existence before 2016!

For this singular reason, his reappointment for another term of five years, announced on Friday, 20th August, did not really come as a surprise to many watchers of the great revolution going on in JAMB since August 1, 2016. Indeed, when his first tenure ended on July 31st, 2021, not a few discerning Nigerians openly canvassed his reappointment into the same office, if only to allow him consolidate on the unprecedented socio-economic revolution he initiated and sustained not only in JAMB but in any Nigerian public institution. For, which sane captain changes a winning team?

In one of such altruistic advocacies, a former Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof. Peter Okebukola, said that Prof. Oloyede’s first term in office has “been marked by unprecedented success”, having elevated the quality of university education in Nigeria by ensuring improved quality of candidates for admission into the university system. Prof. Okebukola added that with 82 innovations in JAMB, Prof. Oloyede should be allowed to consolidate the gains of the last five years and see to the completion of his ongoing programmes and projects.

It is a thing of personal joy for those of us who know this erudite scholar intimately that Prof. Oloyede did not disappoint his teeming admirers since his appointment. Rather, he shamed the vociferous opposition to his well-merited appointment. Not only did he institute an enhanced welfare scheme for JAMB staff that greatly boosted their morale, Prof. Oloyede’s messianic tenure substantially restored the sanctity of the Board’s main mandate: the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME). And, as evident in all the five admission exercises he superintended, JAMB’s technology considerably improved, with high level of transparency and advanced networking. The scrapping of the traditional scratch card system for checking results is also another positive rebellion by this audacious JAMB helmsman. And the drastic reduction in the application fees is a serious relief to sundry admission seekers and their parents and guardians.

But by far the most remarkable feat by any non-revenue yielding MDA in the country is the consistent remittance by Prof. Oloyede’s JAMB of whopping sums of money in billions of naira to the Federal Government coffers in each of the last five years. This is indeed praise-worthy, especially in a country where even some MDAs that were specifically and originally established to collect revenue for the government often turn round to ask the same government for extra-budgetary bail-outs to supplement their overheads!

By this feat, Prof. Oloyede merely lived up to his well-known credentials of administrative acumen, financial discipline and legendary transparency in public service. An erudite Professor of Islamic Jurisprudence and the first ever Unilorin graduate to make a first class degree in the institution, Oloyede became a household name during his tenure as the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, having largely succeeded in turning the second generation University into a world class institution. This, he achieved by dint of hard work, resilience, consistency, tenacity of purpose and unparalleled team spirit.

Indeed, Prof. Oloyede’s trajectory has been a study in service excellence, administrative acumen, religious commitment to the achievement of set goals, and unapologetic insistence on fairness for all. This much has been duly acknowledged by dispassionate watchers of his profile since he emerged the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin in 2007, especially with his sterling track records of achievements.

It’s no surprise, therefore, that many well-meaning Nigerians continue to harp on the need for President Muhammadu Buhari to renew the appointment of this modern Midas to consolidate the good job he has been doing in JAMB in the past five years. After all, he is statutorily entitled to two terms of five years each, subject to the wish of the President. At a point, however, there were reports that Prof. Oloyede appeared not to be too keen on doing a second term, as he was said to have insisted that he had made his mark and would like to yield the ground for other persons to be given the opportunity to serve the nation at the JAMB level. The veracity of this report could be gleaned from the swiftness with which he handed over the Registrar’s baton, without any prompting whatsoever from any quarters, to the available most senior Director at the nick of the expiration of his FIRST term! The common sit-tight scheming among Nigerian public officials does not seem to hold any attraction for him!

His reappointment is, therefore, a very commendable masterstroke by the President. For, Nigeria still needs the services of this highly cerebral and effective public officer for another five years at JAMB to personally nurse the several ongoing innovations, which he initiated in the organisation to irrevocable and unabortable fruition. For instance, such initiatives as the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) for automation of admission process; the institution of Equal Opportunity Group for the conduct of the Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for Blind Candidates; the expansion of the capacities of CBT centres for standardization purposes; the introduction of E-Ticketing (for Complaints; the introduction of the Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS) for prompt delivery of admissions requirements; the use of Biometric Authentication to confirm validity of registration, the introduction of E-slip printing; the introduction of management dashboard to monitor registration and admission exercise real time; the use of CCTV cameras in all CBT centres to monitor the examination and registration process real time; and exemplary funds management; as well as prudent and judicious use of JAMB’s financial resources, all need to be consolidated upon in order to avoid the incidence of the well-known Nigerian syndrome of policy summersault and programme discontinuity that often characterize the advent of any new administration in this clime.

To be remitting such huge amount to the coffers of the FG, means he dealt huge blows on racketeering networks so he deserves the accolades.

Musty112:
Jamb is not a business truly but you and your ilk would rather that public funds be siphoned all in the name of "jamb is not a business" and you'd rather let hatred consume you and your genration than acknowledge when someone is really doing great. Continue with your hatred, you and your family would never reach his height in life.

I don't understand this senseless and unnecessary ranting. What are his offense(s)?

1. He reorganized a JAMB that could not put more 50m in over 2decades and turned it into billion Naira net income organization.
2. Revamped processes such that monies does not go to individuals, lest we have the issue of spiritual snake swallowing millions
3. He revolutionized JAMB examination such that you take the exam online and get your results in 2 weeks
4. He smoked out miracle centers and exposed various nefarious activities and cheating schemes
5. He made JAMB to extend services to some other parastatals Customs, Police, NSCDC etc. there maximizing the effectiveness of JAMB to deliver value to the nation

Are these his offenses?

BruncleZuma:

chiedu7:
In the south we are educated, if score badly you will never get admitted

TWLifestyle:
lol - they should go and read . It's not oloyede frustrating anyone from gaining admission its lack of preparation . Becos young people have relied on others writing their exams , cheating through special centres etc it goes to show the calibre of our young ones who demand transparency in governance but want to cheat their way through life .

MufasaLion:
Well, you'd see it that way since you ain't used to writing your exams yourself or perhaps you cheated through school.

Awon eyan Miracle Centers......

Abeg your books and be diligent in study.....or tell your "young kids" to do same. Stiffening systems ko!

You want to cut corners

Kingstanding:
. What he has done a High school certificate holder in UK, Europe, Canada or US will even do better. He was there to generate revenue to FG and make lives miserable and difficult for the parents of jambite. Can some tell me just one advantage of JAMB? Useless country full of vision less and vagabond leaders.

ikllbrokehoes:
He's certainly not the reason why you failed jamb, next time study hard, most of kids these days play too much

drlateef:
Go and read your books, Nigeria is full of lazy youth. They are always waiting for “masquerade “ to pass exam. Corrupt people will hate this man. Enough of this yahoo yahoo generation. Nigeria will be great again without people like you.

ayoncox:
I am well over 30 years I took JAMB and passed once, that was when I was barely 16. No one writes JAMB twice in my family. There were more class mates more intelligent and studious than I do and found it hard to gain admission until they went to private universities does it mean that are lazy or what.
I know of kids whose parents have invested so much of resources and time into making them pass JAMB. One of the kids who is often the best student in her school which is a high ranking one in her state had 118. She literally spends nothing less than 2 to 3 hours preparing for JAMB. Another kid studied and prepared so hard with the anticipation of scoring 270-290 only to get 235.
See let us call a spade a spade. It is wrong putting a fanatic in such strategic positions they often feel they are there to make life difficult for others all because they want to generate money

Beancounter94:
Seriously, guys, what is wrong with the way he runs JAMB?

The truth is, university entrance exams are supposed to be HARD. If you don't prepare with that in mind, you won't do well at all.

If you fail an exam, don't blame the examiner. Take it as a chance to learn something new about studying, and about reading, and a second chance to get a crack at the exam...and you shalt do well.

Good morning to both of you
