The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) and the National Youth Service Corps have resolved to step up
measures to check fraudulent practices by prospective corps members.
This was the subject of discussion during the
visit by the JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, to the
Director-General, Brigadier General Sulaiman Kazaure, at the NYSC
National Directorate Headquarters.
Professor Oloyede noted that applications for
change of date of birth being forwarded to JAMB were mostly from
over-aged persons who want to get mobilized for the national service.
He explained that since his assumption of duty as
Registrar, JAMB had been taking measures to block sharps practices,
while also seeking enhanced inter-agency cooperation in that regard.
In his remarks, the NYSC Director-General,
Brigadier General Sulaiman Kazaure, described JAMB as a critical
stakeholder in the NYSC, and welcomed the agency's renewed commitment
to eliminating sharp practices.
Kazaure said a bilateral committee would be set to
address all the areas of concern raised by the Registrar.
He thanked the JAMB Management for the cordial
relationship with the NYSC.
