Following alleged lopsidedness in the on-going direct entry registration of candidates by Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, National association of Nigerian students [NANS] has called on the Registrar of JAMB, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, to voluntarily resign from office.
The union also asked the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu to call the Registrar to order to lessen the difficulty being experienced by the candidates.
” the board had outlived its usefulness and the best thing is to scrap it and allow universities design their standard examination for their own candidate
He noted that the fact that many Candidates has been in the head office for over a week now and they are yet to be registered, further more if the official should come around, they attend to private individuals leaving others outside without attending to them
He said: “Why will anybody make life difficult for candidates whose parents are struggling to live under the terrible condition the government has made them live in?
This is a total failure. Students must have at least three months for registration, its procedure must be open and their options to public universities must not be limited to serve the agenda of the proprietors of private universities”, he argued.
