The National Ameer of a Muslim group, under the aegis of Daaru-r- Rahmat Islamic Society (DARMAT), Sheikh Misibaudeen Olawale,
has applauded the credibility and accountability of the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, over the glitches that marred the 2025 UTME results.
Olawale, however, appealed to Nigerians to see the errors as human, while the body is working round the clock to address the issue.
Olawale, who stated this in a statement issued and made available to newsmen, said: “The
leadership of Prof..Oloyede is a great lesson for the nation as he takes responsibility for the hitches with full explanation.
“Apart from this, Oloyede also appreciated constructive comments from various stakeholders so as to take proactive steps to recover from the injuries.”
He added: “The acceptance of the errors by Prof. Oloyede remained uncommon among the top government functionaries in the country.
“The JAMB Registrar should be commended for the credibility and accountability over the inadequacies and glitches recorded during the recent release of the JAMB results in the country.”
Sheikh Olawale also noted that Prof. Oloyede has demonstrated rare courage by admitting the error.
The cleric opined: “As a Muslim group in the country, we are not happy with the glitches and the associated issues, but your sincerity of purpose, strength of character and proven integrity for not trading blames, even with the obvious opportunities and the traceable link to the error.”
Olawale, therefore, appealed to Nigerians to see this as human error and put in all necessary mechanisms to assist the body (JAMB) in their proactive steps to recover from the injuries, noting that, “for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Q73:20)”.
