He, therefore, called on Nigerians to join President Muhammadu Buhari in fighting corruption.

Speaking about the state of education in Nigeria, Oloyede said the government needs to place less emphasis on certificates and encourage abilities among the students.

“Destroying a nation does not require the use of atomic bomb or the use of long range missiles.

“It only requires lowering the quality of education and allowing cheating in the examination by students.

“The collapse of education is the collapse of the nation, but functional education will guarantee freedom and national development,” he said

The JAMB boss also said corruption is also working against functional education in Nigeria.

Oloyede, added that quality education must be functional, multipurpose and adaptable to every situation.
