Former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has demanded the resignation of the Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, Prof Ishaq Oloyede.
On Wednesday, Oloyede admitted errors in the results of the 2025 UTME and apologised. This is coming after a nationwide outrage over the mass failure recorded in the 2025 UTME.
Oloyede, while apologising to candidates affected by the technical errors at a news conference, broke down in tears.
But Sowore said shedding tears for the “organisation’s egregious errors”, not enough, urging the JAMB registrar to tender his resignation.
The popular activist said upon Oloyede’s resignation, a thorough investigation should be conducted on the board.
He stated, “The Registrar of the Jamb official Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Prof. Oloyede bears responsibility for the organisation’s egregious errors, which have devastatingly claimed a young life, shedding crocodile tears is not a remedy for these infractions.
“As a first step, he should resign, followed by a thorough investigation and possible prosecution for manslaughter.
“Moreover, JAMB must be scrapped. #revolutionnow”.
