Japa: ‘Don’t Relocate Abroad’, JAMB Boss Tells Nigerian Students, Youths

This is according to JAMB’s latest bulletin shared on its official X (formerly known as Twitter) page on Thursday, August 22. The bulletin said Prof. Oloyede spoke recently during the 2nd matriculation ceremony of the College of Nursing Science, Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital. 

The event was for the institution’s newly-admitted students and was held in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital. In his goodwill message, Oloyede, who was represented by Hassan Lawal, the coordinator of the examination board in Ekiti state, bemoaned the brain drain syndrome, which the JAMB boss said is negatively affecting the health sector. He commended the federal government for “rolling out robust and proactive policies to reverse the trend”. 

Furthermore, he congratulated the matriculants for successfully scaling one of the hurdles of qualifications to studying Nursing as a course while urging them to be prepared to contribute their quota to the development of the country instead of relocating overseas.
