President Muhammadu Buhari has reappointed Professor Ishaq Oloyede as the Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board – JAMB.
He will serve for a second term of five years.
Oloyede distinguished himself by declaring huge sums at the end of every UTME year, as opposed to his predecessors who had little or nothing to declare.
One of them, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, is currently facing alleged corruption trial.
Meanwhile, Buhari has also reappointed Pof. Abubakar Rasheed as the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission for another five years; Hamid Bobboyi, Executive Secretary of the Universal Basic Education Commission for a second term of four years; Prof. Ifeoma Isiugo-Abanihe as Registrar/CEO of the National Business and Technical Examinations Board for a second term of four years; and Prof. Promise Mebine as the Director/Chief Executive of the National Mathematical Centre for an initial tenure of five years.
