Professor Jimoh described JAMB’s prompt decision to allow affected candidates to rewrite the examination at no cost as “exemplary,” noting that it reflects Professor Oloyede’s sincerity and leadership. He added that the move affirms the integrity of the examination body and its processes for admitting candidates into higher institutions.

“KWASU appreciates the sincerity and promptness with which JAMB addressed the matter and laid the facts bare before the concerned public. This will allay the fears of parents and candidates while ensuring the integrity of the examination body remains intact.

“You have written your name and that of JAMB in the annals of history as responsible institutions worthy of emulation by individuals and organisations. It is our prayer that Allah grants you the strength to continue serving Nigeria and humanity,” Professor Jimoh added.
