JAMB not an exam body, Oloyede insists

Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), clarified that JAMB is not an examination body but an educational assessment and admission agency. Speaking at the Rite Foods National Academic Excellence Awards, he emphasized that while JAMB conducts exams, its primary role is facilitating admissions to tertiary institutions. He criticized the common misconception that JAMB functions like traditional examination bodies such as WAEC or NECO, arguing that admission decisions involve more than just UTME scores. Oloyede highlighted that candidates' eligibility and subject combinations are also considered, and that focusing solely on UTME results can be misleading. He reiterated JAMB's commitment to being a fair and merit-based admission system.
