It was further learnt that the registrar died on Monday evening after his trip from Abuja to Minna. He was said to have complained of being tired at about 3pm but was found dead at around 5pm in his house.

Recall that the late registrar appointed in 2020,was accused of mismanagement and corruption by both the staff and board of the agency.  He was alleged  to have also attempted to release the sum of N1.8 billion to some contractors who the board had said should not be paid.

The examination body’s board had recommended his removal to the education minister, Adamu Adamu.

The recommendation was said to have been   forwarded to President Muhammadu Buhari for approval and could have been removed  this week before news of his  death broke.
