The Registrar/Chief Executive of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, has claimed that some powerful forces are plotting to frustrate his efforts ahead of the forthcoming Unified Tertiary Marticulation Examination (UTME).

Oloyede has, however, made it clear that the board would not return to status quo and that he was ready to step on toes.

He said this in Abuja on Wednesday, during a workshop to train its officials ahead of the UTME exams.

“People are bent on creating problems where none exists. I believe their toes are very big and I don’t mind stepping on them.

“We believe that at the end of the day, Nigerians will know the truth and who to appreciate and who to condemn.

“So I expect all other stakeholders involved in the system not to sabotage the efforts of JAMB but reciprocate such gesture and goodwill so that we could give Nigerians the best of services they deserve,” Oloyede said.
