We won’t oppose the recent move by the federal government to abolish the post-UTME says Versities

Universities across the country have indicated they won’t oppose the recent move by the federal government to abolish the post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (post-UTME) they conduct for admission seekers.
Initially, UTME was conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) as a prerequisite for admission into degree courses.

Now, the universities charge post-UTME fee of between N2,500 and N10,000, per candidate, and also charge what they called admission acceptance fee, ranging from N10,000 to N60,000.
The government recently spoke against the conduct of the post-UTME by universities.
Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu said in Abuja during a JAMB stakeholders meeting, that as long as universities had confidence in what JAMB does, there was no need for post-UTME.
However, while government is not in support of the post-UTME being conducted by universities, it has yet to issue an order  against it.
The Deputy Director, Press and Public Relations at the Ministry of Education, Mr Ben Gong, said: “There was no official statement from the ministry about post-UTME.”
The universities used to hold the post-UTME screening as a way of testing the suitability of applicants for admission.
