He stated many of the affected scholars have themselves guilty for no matter they’re experiencing now, now not JAMB.
The registrar stated many of the scholars, in a desperation to book admission to raised establishments of finding out, have shorten corners that experience now backfired.
Oloyode stated, “The grievance used to be that on the Ibadan Zonal Workplace, the officials aren’t performing smartly and that there used to be incorrect programme dedicated to the Ibadan administrative center. So, I’ve to come back right here to peer what’s going on for the reason that influence is that community right here aren’t accountable.
“On the other hand, from what we now have visible, it’s now sunny that they’re grappling with issues that even the gadget do not have envisaged.
“How do you provide an explanation for a case of someone who used to be given what may just aptly be described as an under-tabled admission seven years in the past and didn’t seem till now?

At the admission for Upper Nationwide Degree programmes, Oloyede disclosed that the board has not anything to do with the method.
He stated the regulation does now not permit JAMB to sign in applicants for any of the HND programmes.
