From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja
Chairman, House of Representatives Adhoc Committee investigating job racketeering in federal agencies, Yusuf Adamu Gagdi has said that the panel has not indicted the Register of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyode or any Ministry, Department or Agency ( MDA).
Gagdi, who spoke, in Abuja, said it was wrong for anybody to insinuate that the Ad-hoc Committee has indicted the JAMB registrar, when its investigation is still ongoing.
The lawmaker spoke at the backdrop of media reports that the panel has allegedly indicted the JAMB Registrar for employing about 300 staff without advertising the vacancies.
Gagdi explained that the Ad-hoc committee has been having a robust engagement with all agencies appearing before it, noting that until it concludes its assignment and submit a report to the House, it cannot be said that it has indicted any agency for any wrong doing.
“I want to say it here that as a matter of fact, 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 “, he stated.
