Professor Oloyede’s statement challenges conventional wisdom. Rather than viewing JAMB as an ally, he emphasized that considering it an adversary could lead to better outcomes. “If JAMB is your friend,” he asserted, “then you are not doing what you are supposed to do.” According to him, treating JAMB as an opponent fosters a sense of urgency and commitment, ultimately driving students to perform at their best.
