Exploring JAMB’s N850m Mosquito Defense: Oshiomhole Demands Clarity
Adams Oshiomhole, former governor of Edo State, has questioned the justification for spending N850 million by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on mosquito eradication and cleaning services.
In a statement, he expressed concern over the allocation of such a significant amount of funds for tasks that could be considered routine or unnecessary, particularly in the context of the board’s core mandate of administering exams.
Oshiomhole, a vocal figure in Nigerian politics, has called for greater transparency and accountability in the use of public funds, emphasizing that spending should be closely scrutinized, especially when it involves taxpayer money.
His remarks have raised a broader conversation about government spending, efficiency, and priorities in Nigerian institutions.
