The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has dismissed two of its officials for gross misconduct.
The dismissed officials are Bilyaminu Ishaku and Andrew Anebi Candidus of the Benue State JAMB office.
In a statement on Wednesday, the JAMB spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, said the dismissal of the officials took effect from Wednesday, March 1, 2023.
The statement reads, “Sequel to your appearance before the Senior Staff Disciplinary Committee and the subsequent recommendations of the committee, I am directed to convey to you the approval of the Honourable Minister of Education of your dismissal from the service of the Board from 27th February, 2023 for serious misconduct.”
JAMB noted that the dismissal was in line with the Public Service Rule 030401, which defined 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 JAMB spokesman, however, directed the dismissed officials 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, with immediate effect.
