Oloyede Clarifies JAMB’s Role: Admission Agency, Not Examination Body

Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, Registrar of JAMB, says the board is an educational assessment and admission agency rather than a traditional examination body. He made this remark at the maiden Rite Foods National Academic Excellence Awards in Lagos, where seven undergraduates shared ₦35 million in prizes. Oloyede stressed that while JAMB conducts exams as an operational tool, it is not like WAEC or NECO. Its core mandate is to facilitate entry into tertiary institutions.
