Oloyede said reviewing the civil service laws would address the lacuna over the benefits for staff who die close to their retirement age. DAILY POST reports.NYSC Portal
The JAMB boss made the appeal in Bwari area of Abuja at the retirement ceremony of 24 staff of the board.
Decrying over the present laws on retirement, Oloyede said it leaves a lacuna such that if a staff dies on the eve of his retirement, he would not be entitled to a posthumous check of retirement benefits.
