The Registrar of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Is-haq Oloyede, has urged the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in the education sector.
Oloyede made this request at the annual lecture of Faculty of Arts, Lagos State University, LASU, on Thursday and appealed for increase in the budgetary allocation to the sector.
He called for strong and swift disciplinary measures for staff and students caught in examination malpractice as it has become the practice in JAMB operations in the last five years.
The JAMB Boss further called for the establishment of a process for the lodgment of complaints against sexual and other misdemeanors in the education industry without exception.
