This was announced in the Board’s weekly bulletin issued its Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin and made available to The Interview today.
His nomination, according to the bulletin was conveyed in a letter by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige.
The letter stated that the award would be conferred on the registrar by President Muhammadu Buhari this week along with other prominent Nigerians who have distinguished themselves through high productivity, hard work and excellence.
The letter reads in part, “The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has approved the conferment of the National Productivity Order of Merit Award on you in recognition of your high productivity, hard work and excellence.”
The Bulletin also noted the JAMB registrar had brought numerous innovations to the operations of JAMB within three years of his appointment as the board’s registrar.
It stated, “His diverse innovations, transparency and the deployment of ICT in the fight against corruption and other unwholesome acts have given fresh impetus to the fight against financial, administrative and examination malfeasance in the country.
“His full disclosure of income and expenditure weekly in the board’s bulletin has not gone unnoticed by anti-corruption crusaders.”
