The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, while speaking during a meeting with the leadership of NAPS at the headquarters of the Board in Bwari, Abuja, said the Board does not oversee the admission of HND students and therefore has no role in their mobilization for the NYSC.
EDITORS PICK:
Oloyede, who expressed surprise that JAMB is being targeted by the association on the issue, described the action as borne out of sheer ignorance of the mandate of the Board.
He explained that JAMB’s mandate is limited to conducting examinations for admission into universities, National Diploma (ND), and Nigerian Certificate in Education (NCE) programmes, not HND programmes.
He further explained that JAMB admits students for ND programmes and once they graduate and seek HND admission, JAMB has no further role as HND admissions are conducted by individual institutions.
Oloyede also addressed concerns over part-time polytechnic programmes, stating that his criticism was only directed at “Daily Part-Time” schemes designed to exploit students.
