The Rector of Kogi state Polytechnic, Lokoja, Prof. Usman Salisu Ogbo has applauded the registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq O. Oloyode, for the courage and uncommon decision to accept responsibility surrounding the 2025 UTME result glitch.
Prof. Usman who made the commendation in Lokoja on Friday in a press statement made available to journalists said it is uncommon to accept the UTME result glitch which affected over 300,000 candidates that participated in the exercise.
“As an institution, we are not celebrating 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.”
“I wish to appreciate you most sincerely for not disappointing your mentees, which I am privileged to be one, in your handling of the affairs of JAMB and the overall conduct of UTME over the years. As someone whose style of leadership I have always admired, I wish to urge you to see the current challenges as a natural part of human fallibility.”
“As a budding administrator, I have learnt significant lesson from the present circumstances most importantly, your depth of leadership courage, selflessness, team spirit and rare ability to openly accept responsibility without bulk-passing.”
“As we appreciate the Board for taking the necessary corrective measures by giving the affected candidates that deserved opportunities to retake the examination, we are also confident that, the Board under your leadership will do all it can to avoid future occurrence.”
