The Management of Kwara State University, Malete, has lauded the exemplary leadership displayed by the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Olanrewaju Oloyede in addressing the issues that emerged during the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
This was contained in a letter signed by the Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Shaykh Luqman Jimoh, saying that the dedication and expertise deployed in resolving these matters have been truly commendable.
“As the Chief Executive of the examination body which conducted the examination, you did not only publicly take responsibility of the error which marred the conduct of this year’s examination in some centres, but you promptly initiated action to grant affected candidates the opportunity to rewrite the examination at no cost to them.
“This is a decision we as a university consider exemplary, not just as a reflection of your sincerity and leadership, but one which affirms the integrity of the examination body and process, which tests intending candidates into higher institutions.
“While the error was caused by a service provider and one that is highly regrettable, KWASU appreciates the sincerity and promptness with which JAMB addressed the matter and laid the facts bare to the concerned public. This will allay the fears of parents and candidates and ensure the integrity of the examination body remains intact.
“You have written your name and that of JAMB in the annals of history as responsible institutions worthy of emulation by people and organisations. It is our prayer that Allah grants you the strength to continue to serve Nigeria and humanity” the statement added.
