JAMB gives reasons for employing 300 without advertising

The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Is-haq Oloyede, on Monday, defended the decision of the board to employ no fewer than 300 staff without advertising the positions.

Appearing before the House of Representatives, Professor Oloyede explained that the decision was to fill vacancies created due to retirement.

The House of Representatives ad-hoc committee is investigating employment racketeering by Ministries, Departments, and Agencies and mismanagement of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

Meanwhile, the committee also observed that 14 individuals at the Federal Character Commission (FCC) received salaries through IPPIS without being placed in any federal government agencies.
