A cross section of Muslim groups in Nigeria has hailed the appointment of Prof Is-haq Oloyede as the new Registrar of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) urging him to see it as a challenge to further serve the nation.
In their respective congratulatory messages, the Muslim groups described Oloyede as a seasoned educationist and administrator per excellence as a result of his track records in the past records.
The groups were Muslim Media Practitioners of Nigeria (MMPN), Federation of Muslim Women Association in Nigeria (FOMWAN), Muslim Community of Oyo State (MUSCOYS) Obafemi Awolowo University Muslim Graduates Association (UNIFEMGA), Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), and Muslim Consultative Forum (MCF).
In its message, MMPN through its chairman, Abdur-Rahman Balogun expressed appreciation to President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing Oloyede to head the troubled JAMB. “As you are set to commence this onerous task before you, we urge you to be careful of those who hail you and reflect on what your critics say.
“For every action, there is a reaction; for every opportunity, there is a responsibility and for every appointment, there is accountability before men and Allah”, Balogun said. While rejoicing with Oloyede, FOMWAN in a statement by her National PRO, Alhaja Sururah Oyero called on him to fear Allah in his stewardship by being just and fair to all regardless of their tribes or religious affinity.
Also, the Muslim Community of Oyo State advised Oloyede to accelerate pro active reforms in JAMB to the benefit of teeming Nigerian youths desirous of admissions into tertiary institutions.
In the same vein, Engr. Abdulwaheed Odeyimka, National President of UNIFEMGA described Oloyede’s appointment as “ well deserved, putting the right peg in the right hole.” Odeyimka expressed worries on policy summersault by previous JAMB administrators which he said was to the detriment of millions of Nigerian students seeking admission into tertiary institutions.
