The Chairman of the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee investigating job racketeering in federal agencies, Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, has clarified that the committee has not issued any indictment against the Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculations Board (JAMB), Professor Ishaq Oloyode, or any other agency.
In a statement issues by the committee, Hon. Gagdi emphasized that it would be incorrect to suggest that the Committee had already indicted the JAMB Registrar while it is still in the process of conducting its investigation.
GOOD EVENING NIGERIA reports that there have been reports in the media that the committee indicted the JAMB Registrar for employing about 300 staff without advertisement.
Addressing the resumed hearing of the Ad-hoc Committee, Hon. Gagdi stressed that the committee has been actively engaging with all agencies that have appeared before it.
He explained that the committee’s conclusion and report submission to the House are necessary before any agency can be deemed to have been indicted.

He said, “I want to say it here that as a matter of fact, we did not take any report of indictment against anybody.
“This committee has not indicted the Registrar of JAMB and we have not indicted any Institution.
“You can only say that after we submit our report. There are reports going out that we have indicted JAMB Registrar. No, we have not submitted any report anywhere and so, don’t quote us out of context, please.
“We had a very good interaction with him and nobody should preempt the decision of this committee to say that somebody is faulty,” Hon. Gagdi urged.
