Background to the Probe
Prof. Ojerinde, currently a professor in the Faculty of Education at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, served as JAMB Registrar between 2007 and 2016. During his nine-year tenure, the highest annual remittance JAMB ever made to the Federal Government was ₦3 million. Conversely, his successor, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, remitted over ₦5 billion in unspent funds in his very first year in office without increasing JAMB fees, prompting federal scrutiny into past revenues.
