The Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, has said that the ongoing national strike by
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) was unnecessary.
Oloyede, who made this known during the flag-off and
presentation of equipment, facilitated by JAMB, at the University of Ilorin
Teaching Hospital (UITH) on Friday called on the leadership of the ASUU to call
off the ongoing industrial action by the university lecturers in the country.
The registrar, who urged both the government and the unions
to find ways of putting an end to the “unnecessary strike” noted that the
protracted and incessant strikes by unions in the nation’s tertiary
institutions was capable of causing irreparable damage, on not just the
students, but also the nation.
The registrar added that the intervention of JAMB in the
area of healthcare delivery was to support the government’s efforts aimed at
addressing the huge medical infrastructural gap in the country.
“JAMB will continue to prune down its expenses through
prudent management, adoption of relevant cost-saving technology, and other
efficiency-strategies,” he said.
