JAMB/UTME: A convergence and other tales, By Zainab Suleiman Okino

“As a former Vice Chancellor at the University of Ilorin, Professor Isiaq Oloyede, the JAMB Registrar obviously enjoyed the fraternity and camaraderie of his colleagues, who dared the inclement weather to ‘converge’ not in the comfort of an airconditioned boardroom but out there. This, no doubt, contributed to further validate the process.

“On two occasions, our team comprising of the former Minister of Education, Professor Chinwe Obaji ran into the former Vice Chancellor of University of Ilorin, Prof Shamsudeen Amali and some media men and women.

“As a result, while the first set was haphazard, the second and third sets could not hold. Former Minister of Education, Professor Chinwe Obaji, who has been my resource partner in the JAMB journey in the last few years, appealed to the candidates to exercise patience, while she put a call through to the JAMB authorities. The candidates’ problem, she assured would be rectified, as confirmed by the JAMB spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin.

“It was a baffling situation; a youth who seemed calm and spoke good English, took the JAMB form and met all the requirements to sit for the examinations, would even refuse to log in. But he insisted he didn’t want to be educated. I told him he spoke quite intelligently and in measured tones, and education will ultimately make him a better person. He replied in a low tone: ‘I told my parents I don’t want to go to school, but they are forcing me. This is where I will let them know I am serious’.
