Fountain University, Osogbo, has publicly expressed its unwavering support for the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Ishaq Oloyede, describing him as a beacon of accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership in Nigeria’s education sector.
In an official statement released on Wednesday, the university lauded Prof. Oloyede’s unwavering commitment to reforming the tertiary admissions process and upholding the sanctity of examinations through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
According to the statement, the university noted that under Oloyede’s leadership, JAMB has undergone a digital transformation, ensuring more transparent processes, reducing examination malpractices, and increasing public confidence in the UTME. “Prof. Oloyede’s tenure has restored trust in the nation’s central examination body. His zero-tolerance for corruption and his openness in handling institutional matters set a standard worth emulating,” the statement read.
The university further emphasized that it stands in solidarity with the Registrar in the wake of challenges faced by the 2025 UTME, including a technical glitch that necessitated a resit for some affected candidates. Rather than casting aspersions, the institution applauded the swift and responsible manner in which the JAMB boss addressed the issue, describing it as “a clear display of leadership and accountability.”
Fountain University urged stakeholders in the education sector to rally around visionary leaders like Prof. Oloyede, who it said have consistently demonstrated integrity and fairness in the discharge of their duties.
