The registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Ishaq Oloyede, has commended the moves by the federal government to investigate the fake certificates awarded to Nigerians.
In an interview with journalists on Friday, Mr Oloyede said that though the state of education in the country was not good enough, it had been improving.
“I think the honourable minister (of education) is doing the right thing,” said Mr Oloyede. “In Nigeria, at times, when we run into one small problem, the solutions could be more disastrous.”
The registrar said the education minister had done the right thing by setting up a committee to investigate the problem.
He added, “The committee will come up with facts, and we can now work on those facts.”
The registrar said while he believed that education was improving, everybody must do their part to make the sector greater.
He stated that JAMB would stabilise some of the innovations employed on the quality of the body’s works.
“We will also ensure that our services are better delivered,” he said.
Following an investigation by Daily Nigerian, exposing how its reporter purchased a certificate from Benin Republic University, Education Minister Tahir Mamman berated Nigerians with fake certificates as criminals, vowing to flush them out of the system.
