The Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board, JAMB, has explained why it included Arabic in examination
question for police recruitment.
The body said the questions were
set by its workers who are Christians.
The board, however, insisted that
contrary to insinuation that Arabic was made compulsory in the examination, no
candidate was instructed or made to forcibly attempt any question in Arabic,
explaining that the subject was included as dummy.
JAMB also explained that the
examination was administered by some senior Christian staff among whom it
disclosed, was a “deacon in one of the largest pentecostal churches in the
country.”
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq
Oloyede, gave the explanation, yesterday, when the Youth Wing of the Christian
Association of Nigeria, YOWICAN, led by its National President, Daniel Kadzai,
visited him at the board’s headquarters in Abuja.
“The examination questions were
incidentally set and administered by the directorate staff of the board, among
who incidentally is a deacon in one of the largest pentecostal churches in
Nigeria,“ he said.
He expressed concern over the
continuous controversies trailing the police recruitment examination in the
country.
He said: “I am worried over the
misrepresentation of the whole scenario, which has continued to cause
unnecessary tension in the country. It is worrisome that Nigeriahas degenerated
to a level where we don’t trust each other anymore even amongst religious
leaders.”
Insisting that Arabic questions
were not part of the examination but were simply included as dummies to enable
the software function properly, the JAMB boss said he was concerned over the
enormous division among the various faiths in the country.
To this end, he called on
Nigerians to put the country first in all they do, just as he urged them “to
work as one indivisible entity otherwise the much clamoured development would
elude us.”
