Job racketeering: JAMB Registrar not indicted — Reps

The House of Representatives Ad hoc Committee investigating job racketeering in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) says it has not indicted the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede.

The chairman of the committee, Yusuf Gagdi, who made this known at the resumed hearing of the committee in Abuja on Saturday, August 19, 2023, said no agencies of the Federal Government had been indicted, contrary to speculations.

There have been reports that the committee indicted the JAMB Registrar for employing about 300 staff without advertisement.

Gagdi, however, said the committee had been having a robust engagement with all agencies appearing before it, adding that it was wrong to insinuate that the committee had indicted the JAMB Registrar when it was still carrying out its assignment.

He said until the committee concluded its assignment and submitted a report to the house, it could not be said it had indicted any agency for any wrongdoing.

He stated: “This committee has not indicted the Registrar of JAMB and we have not indicted any institution. You can only say that after we submit our report.

“We had a very good interaction with him and nobody should preempt the decision of this committee to say that somebody is faulty.”
