I wonder who told the Ministry of Education that student are fed up with Post UTME anyway......
It is no longer a new that the famous Post Utme Examination conducted by Nigeria Universities had been canceled some few days back.
Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu told newsmen of the government’s decision on Thursday, June 2, 2016.
He made the announcement at the opening of the 2016 combined policy meeting on admissions to Universities, Polytechnics and other higher institutions in Nigeria
Adamu, also said the Universities are free to hold screening interviews for prospective candidates, adding that he has confidence in JAMB’s ability to hold exams.
The minister also called on JAMB to stop all forms of multiple charges on change of school and course forms.
He said “As far as I am concerned the nation has confidence in what JAMB is doing. The universities should not be holding another examination and if the universities have any complain against JAMB let them bring it and then we address it.
“If JAMB is qualified enough to conduct tests and they have conducted test then there will be no need to conduct another test for students to gain admission.”.
But to my surprise, Universities will not give up on extorting money from the large population of students seeking admission.... Since the Post UTME that generate money for them had been canceled, they quickly resorted into giving aspiring student oral and screening test with same amount that is equal to or more than Post UTME...
This in essence, simple means they just change the Post UTME name to Oral or Screen test...
Well student don't really have a choice... I wonder who told the Ministry student are fed up of Post UTME anyway......
