Two Staff Dismissed by JAMB for Misconduct

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has taken action against two of its staff members, Bilyaminu Ishaku and Andrew Anebi Candidus, from its Makurdi, Benue State office, for gross misconduct. On Wednesday, March 1, 2023, the Head of Public Affairs and Protocol of the board, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, released a statement confirming the dismissal of the two staff members. The statement alleged that the staff members had committed document forgery. The dismissal was effective from 27th February 2023 and was in accordance with the Public Service Rule 030401, which defines serious misconduct as a “specific act of very serious wrongdoing and improper behaviour, which is inimical to the image of the service and which can be investigated and if proven, may lead to dismissal.” The staff were instructed to submit their identity cards and all other property of the Board in their possession to the State Coordinator, JAMB Office, Benue State, for onward submission to the Director, Human Resources.
