The Imam of the National Mosque of Nigeria, Abuja, Dr. Abdulkadir Jumuah Salman Solagberu, has commended the Registrar/Chief Executive of the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board, JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Olanrewaju Oloyede, for raising the board’s standard in probity and service delivery.
In a statement, Solagberu described Oloyede’s tenure as “the golden age in the annals” of the examinations body.
He said the JAMB boss had taken the board to a level where it is now Nigeria’s most credible and admirable examinations body, and a model for other public institutions.
Solagberu, who is also the Malami Ubandoma of Ilorin and proprietor of the proposed Darul Kitab University, Ilorin, said the former University of Ilorin vice chancellor had been a good ambassador of the Nigerian Muslim community.
“The renowned academic has not disappointed his primary constituency and the nation either as an academic or administrator,” he said.
He urged Oloyede, who is also Secretary-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA and Kuliyan Sokoto, to sustain his efforts, adding that his place in the history of Nigeria’s public service was secure.
Solagberu also called on Nigerians, particularly Muslims, to emulate Oloyede’s patriotism and creativity so the country could achieve its full potential.
The Imam prayed for Oloyede’s long life, sound health, and happiness to enable him to continue serving Allah and humanity.
