The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, says the Federal Government’s decision to remove Mathematics as a compulsory requirement for students seeking admission into arts and humanities courses is aimed at curbing the growing trend of certificate forgery among applicants.
Oloyede made this known on Sunday in Ibadan during the formal opening of the Jihad Week organised by the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), University of Ibadan chapter, where he also inaugurated the group’s new publication, Ad-dhikr Magazine.
He explained that the policy, which had existed for years but was not fully implemented, was now being aligned with educational realities by the Ministry of Education to promote fairness and reduce falsification of academic results.
