Oloyede Does Not Operate Any Social Media Account – JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board JAMB has disassociated it’s Registrar Prof Ishaq Oloyede  from a purported LinkedIn account sending friend requests to members of the public under the guise to defraud  gullible members of the public. 

According to a signed statement by Dr Fabian Benjamin, Head, Public Affairs and Protocol, the Board wishes to state that Prof. Is-haq Oloyede does not own or operate any social media account and neither has he asked  anybody to open or manage one on his behalf. 

LinkedIn is a social networking site designed specifically for the business community. As such, it should be noted that the goal of the site is to enable registered users to connect with people they know and trust professionally. Prof. Oloyede does not belong to this class of individuals nor intend to join.

Benjamin said the disclaimer became necessary in view of some unscrupulous elements, who have purportedly opened a LinkedIn account on his behalf to hoodwink unsuspecting members of the public with their bogus claims of the erudite professor helping to network business enterprises, managing careers, providing jobs, running a research firm or connecting people with business contacts of firms or industry through the account.

The Board  however urged the general public to be wary of these criminal elements so as not to fall victims to the scammers.
