How 27 Groundnut Sellers Were Sent For NYSC - JAMB Registrar

Professor Dibu Ojerinde, the registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has stated that a certain Nigerian universit sent more than 27 groundnut sellers to his organization for regularization and mobilization for the one-year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program, The Sun newspaper reports.

The paper reports: The revelation came on the heels of the management of the NYSC accusing the management of tertiary institutions of frustrating full deployment of ICT in the mobilisation of corps members.

Ojerinde, who made the remark at the 2015 Batch ‘A’ Pre-mobilisation Workshop in Abuja yesterday, argued that he equally experienced some frustration from higher institutions and even his board members when he introduced the same biometrics in the conduct of JAMB examination.

“There is a university where over 5,000 graduates were mobilised. We have to make a commitment to sanitise the system by doing the appropriate thing. There were 27 persons a particular institution mobilised for NYSC selling ‘pepper nut’ or groundnut in front of the university.
