More than 10 staff members of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) are currently facing prosecution over allegations of corruption.

The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this at the ongoing National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) in Abuja.

Oloyede said the board has made workers’ welfare a central pillar of its operations, noting that a motivated and disciplined workforce is the most valuable asset of any organisation.

“Though we strive to promote and enhance the welfare of our staff, we maintain strict discipline. Currently, more than 10 staff members are facing sanctions for corruption-related offences. We reward dedication but deal decisively with misconduct,” he stated.

The JAMB boss also criticised some parents for engaging in unethical practices to secure admission for their wards, warning that such behaviour undermines the integrity of the education system. (The Guardian)
