The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof. Is-haq Olanrewaju Oloyede, will reportedly step down after overseeing the 2026 Admissions Policy Meeting, bringing an end to a decade-long administration that significantly transformed the examination body.
According to the minister, the 2026 meeting would be the last admissions policy meeting to be presided over by Prof. Oloyede as Registrar of JAMB.
Speaking during the meeting, Ahmad praised Oloyede for his contributions to the education sector and his impact on the operations of JAMB over the last 10 years.
“This is the last policy meeting you will be holding. He has been here for ten years. He has done a lot of good things. Ten years is a long time but he is not tired. We will just give you a resting period to relax a bit and then we will just call you back,” she stated.
Prof. Oloyede, who is currently 71 years old, is married with children and grandchildren.
