The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has denied unlawfully dismissing its deputy director, Mr. Yisa Usman, amid the latter’s N150 million lawsuit before the National Industrial Court, challenging his alleged wrongful termination by the board.
The denial was made on Monday by Dr. Abdulwahab Oyedokun, Director of Legal Services at JAMB Headquarters, who appeared as the board’s defence witness before Justice Osatohanmwen Obaseki-Osaghae.
Oyedokun stressed that Usman was dismissed in line with due procedures enshrined in JAMB’s Staff Manual and the Public Service Rules.
