THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS LIFTED THE BAN ON POST UTME.

POST UTME usually organised by universities in
Nigeria for admission seekers after the Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examinations (UTME).
The Federal Government had last year
ordered the scrapping of post-UTME for
candidates.Speaking in an exclusive
interview with The Guardian in Abuja
yesterday, the Minister of Education,
Malam Adamu Adamu, said universities
could now organise post-UTME as a pre-
condition to gaining admission into
universities in the country.
The minister, who however urged
university authorities to make the fees
for the screening affordable and not to
impose huge financial burden on the
parents, said: “We are going to allow
universities to organise post-UTME if
they want.
“We have asked them not to impose
huge financial burden on the parents.
The burden should not be more than
what they can bear.”Adamu said that
the Federal Government had stopped
the scrapping of the examination to
fully understand what was going on in
universities, adding: “We are now
wiser.”
The minister, who expressed confidence
in the examination conducted by the
Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB), said the management of
JAMB had remitted N5 billion to the
Federal Government coffers, which
happens to be the highest so far in the
last 40 years of the board’s existence.
He said: “Since JAMB was established
more than 40 years ago, the total
amount it has given government was
N200 million, but in one year, Prof.
Ishaq Oloyede has remitted N5 billion to
government.
“The new JAMB registrar has been
correcting many anomalies in the
board. Within a year, he has been able
to stop all the untold things that were
happening there.
NOTICE: Pls note that the doesn't mean all the universities will conduct post utme, but if they like they can...So you should at least be prepared.
