"I have never received bribe from anyone" – JAMB registrar

The current Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) registrar  Ishaq Oloyede has denied the corruption allegations  labelled against him by the team of the  Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)  members .


Reacting to allegations made in a petition which was  sent to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by ASUU, Oloyede said he has never collected bribe, extorted anyone, inflated contracts nor accepted gifts from any contractor.

He claimed to have ran a transparent system during his tenure as a vice chancellor of the University of Illorin. In his defence here is what  he said

“I am extremely selective in accepting gifts from even personal friends. My needs are limited and my legitimate income is sufficient to spend on my volunteer work,”

"I have never in my life collected bribe, inflated contracts, extorted anyone nor accepted gifts beyond “Thank You greeting cards” from any contractor, dead or alive.”

Oloyede who was appointed JAMB registrar in August by President Muhammadu Buhari  was accused of enriching himself from proceeds of inflating contract sums, kick-backs etc.

The union also accused him and the incumbent vice chancellor of the university of committing over N2 billion frauds.

They were also accused of series of involvement in pension fraud, unremitted deductions; extortion from students, contract inflation and kick-backs and unlawful payments to ex-principal officers of the university and other anti union activities
