“JAMB must provide a clear, accessible mechanism for remark and appeal, especially for those dissatisfied with the hurried resit or who experienced technical difficulties during the second sitting.

“To the affected candidates: your frustration is valid, and your voices have been heard. The integrity of our national examinations must never be compromised by technical lapses or human error.”

On his part while lauding the JAMB registrar’s credibility and accountability, the National Ameer of the DARMAT, Sheikh Misibaudeen Olawale stated in a statement issued and made available to newsmen: “The leadership of Prof. Oloyede is a great lesson for the nation as he takes responsibility for the hitches with full explanation.

“Apart from this, Oloyede also appreciated constructive comments from various stakeholders so as to take proactive steps to recover from the injuries”.

He said that, “the acceptance of the errors by Prof. Oloyede remained uncommon among the top government functionaries in the country.

“The JAMB Registrar should be commended for the credibility and accountability over the inadequate and glitches recorded during the recent release of the JAMB results in the country”.

Sheikh Olawale also said that, Prof.  Oloyede has demonstrated rare courage by admitting the error.

The cleric opined, “As a Muslim group in the country, we are not happy with the glitch and the associated issues, but your sincerity of purpose, strength of character and proven integrity for not trading the blame even with the obvious opportunities and the traceable link to the error”.

Olawale therefore appealed to Nigerians to see this as human error and put in all necessary mechanisms to assist the body (JAMB) in their proactive steps to recover from injuries noting that, “For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Q73:20)”.
