The re-appointment of Prof. Ishaq Oloyede as the Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has been described by the University of Ilorin Alumni Association as laudable.
The association, in a statement dated 7th September, signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolanle Olatunde, said that “Oloyede’s reappointment is an attestation to the fact that the former Vice-Chancellor of the University has done excellently well in his first tenure.”
Dr Stephen Fasakin, National President of the Association, was quoted by the statement as saying, “There is no doubt that since his appointment as the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, five years ago, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede has remained one of the most visible star boys of President Buhari’s administration’s War Against Corruption.
“He has effectively sanitised JAMB’s operations in five years that one would think the Board had never been in any tangible operation in its total years of existence.
“The members of the Alumni Association are, indeed, very proud of our distinguished alumnus, the very first to have become the Vice-Chancellor of our great Alma Mater and, presently, going on to score several high marks at the national level.
“We are happy that having elevated the quality of university education in Nigeria by ensuring improved examination methods and practices as well as quality of candidates for admission into the university system, Mr President has graciously reappointed our icon to consolidate the gains of the last five years and see to the completion of his ongoing programmes and projects in the institution.”
