Fresh facts have emerged as to why the former Registrar, Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) Chief Executive, Professor Dibu Ojerinde was sacked.
Though it is believed in some quarters that Dibu Ojerinde must have seen his sack coming based on the recent happenings within the organisation he headed in the last couple of months, which has put the education of many tertiary education seekers in jeopardy.
Abujareporters however opined that Ojerinde, whose tenure was suppose to end April 2017, might have gotten his fingers burnt over the 2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) irregularities bordering on result multiplicity, centre relocation and system failure.
Many people protested that the irregularities of the exercise limited their chances of gaining admission this year, that the board was unprepared for the CBT it adopted three years ago.
It would be recalled that Ojerinde alongside other 16 chief executive officers in the Ministry of Education, appointed under former President Goodluck Jonathan administration, were sacked by the Federal Government.
In the statement signed by the Deputy Director (Press) of the ministry, Mr. Benjamin Bem Goong, in Abuja announcing the sack, the government gave no reason for the action.
