He attributed the public’s continued confidence in JAMB to the “discipline, sacrifice, and strict adherence to due process demonstrated by staff.”

He also encouraged staff not to be discouraged by prevailing national economic or security challenges, noting presidential assurances that the country is moving towards stability and recovery. “JAMB, as a critical national institution, must remain calm, focused, and committed to its mandate,” he said.

Professor Oloyede expressed confidence in staff capacity to meet the demands of the moment and sustain an examination system Nigerians can trust. He wished employees and their families a peaceful, productive, and fulfilling year, while thanking them for their loyalty and service.
