Oloyede: Parents Behind Exam Malpractice Were My Biggest Pain as JAMB Registrar

Former JAMB Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede says the most painful part of his 10-year tenure was seeing parents allegedly organise examination malpractice for their children. Speaking in a television interview after handing over to a new registrar, Oloyede said most UTME candidates were not the main problem. He said some parents attempted to help their wards bypass examination rules, which he described as introducing children to criminality. He also revisited the 2023 Mmesoma Ejikeme result-forgery controversy, saying JAMB had handled several similar cases. Oloyede added that the widely discussed claim of a snake swallowing JAMB funds happened before his tenure and was not a literal incident.

Why do some parents risk undermining their children's confidence by allegedly arranging malpractice instead of supporting honest preparation?

I agree. Honest preparation builds real confidence and helps children handle future challenges without shortcuts.

It is troubling that a registrar would describe parental involvement in alleged exam malpractice as the hardest part of his tenure.

Parents may contribute, but the wider system around UTME malpractice also deserves attention rather than placing the burden on families alone.

Schools and parents should make honest study plans, past-question practice, and clear consequences for malpractice part of exam preparation.
