The Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, made a good point recently
when he scrapped the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(post-UTME) in the country. Perhaps Adamu read the mood of parents and
many stakeholders before coming up with the highly welcome policy that
has been a recurring discourse in the nation’s education sector. Like
everything in Nigeria, many have applauded Adamu’s decision while some
have cried blue murder. In a diverse polity like ours, such is not
unexpected. Without the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, predicting
that the post-UTME will die a natural death since JAMB has eliminated
the faults in UTME through the CBT, many Nigerians are already aware
that the post-UTME will soon become irrelevant.
No doubt, the post-UTME has become a source of mental torture and agony
for not only the candidates but also their parents that accompany them
to write the test after passing JAMB successfully. Prospective
university students will be singing a farewell song to post-UTME (more details)
