The National Council of Muslim Youth Organizations (NACOMYO) has commended the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Ishaq Oloyede for his leadership and dedication to public service.
In a statement released by the National Secretary General, Alhaji Mas’ud Akintola, the organization highlighted Professor Oloyede’s humility and accountability as hallmarks of great leadership.
NACOMYO’s statement is coming on the heels of the controversy generated by the conduct of this year’s UTME which led to the rescheduling of the exams for over 300,000 candidates.
“The Registrar’s recent admission, following a thorough review of examination results and processes, that technical glitches in parts of Lagos and the five South Eastern states may have resulted in some students being unfairly graded, exemplifies this,” the organization wrote in the statement.
“Professor Oloyede’s courageous decision to acknowledge these challenges openly and to order a re-sit for the affected students is a rare and commendable act by a Nigerian public official. This action demonstrates his unwavering commitment to fairness, transparency, and public trust, setting a high standard for all public servants to emulate.
“NACOMYO strongly condemns any attempts by professional spin doctors or detractors to misrepresent the facts or undermine Professor Oloyede’s integrity. Such efforts to distort the truth and engage in character assassination are unproductive and unjust, especially in light of the Registrar’s reform-driven leadership.
“We pray for Allah’s continued guidance and protection over Professor Oloyede and urge all leaders and public officials to draw inspiration from his exemplary conduct,” the statement added.
