Varsity Degrees No Longer Guarantor Of Job Opportunities - JAMB Registrar  

The registrar of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Is-haq Oloyede says university degrees will no longer be sole guarantors to secure job in the country.

Oloyede stated this while delivering the convocation lecture, titled, "Learning, Unlearning and Relearning- Prerequisites of the Digital Age" at the Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete.

Oloyede noted that there will not be any difference between those who are literates and those who are illiterate without the cutting- edge skills that are associated with learning, relearning and unlearning".

He advised the graduands and Nigerians to get prepared for the challenges of the information age by taking lifelong learning seriously and being willing to change as circumstances unfold.
