Post UTME Cancelation: Economical or Not?? A critical accessment- Obasi Chinedu and Chigozie Gentle.

Our elected lawmakers and very wise members of the education ministry decried writing double exams - UTME and Post-UTME - before one gets admission to study in our tertiary institutions. A topic worth debating. According to their argument, it will be more ECONOMICAL to write only one. This is due to the amount being collected by the various institution to conduct the said Post UTME Screening examination, and if the examination, is canceled, candidates can save the extra money being spent for registration and logistic activities to cover the screening.
.
All this is what has happened, in theory, now lets look at the practical aspect, which is currently happening in reality.
They said they have scrapped post-UTME. Universities are obviously no longer writing post UTME exams(which should enable candidate save the money for this) but they are collecting money to screen documents. They will have to use money to look at O'level results(the same, which is usually done at clearance with no charge).
.
Now, The funnier part is that the same amount they charged when they were writing screening exams is the same they are charging for document screening. What then is the purpose of scrapping post-UTME, and how does it reflect as an Economical savings for the candidates?
.
Since they are collecting money(which has obviously defeated the purpose for which the cancelation was to achieve, according to the education ministry), why not ask these candidates to come and write the screening exam. It is unarguable that JAMB is not a credible nor reliable examination body, especially with their nature of conducting examination. The level of malpractice in their exam is alarming. There has not been a single year that since inception, that the UME/UTME has passed without issues of malpractice, faulty apparatus or equipments recorded as they move from manual to electronic examination. How can this body now be vested with the sole authority of conducting examinations for admission into credible institutions of higher learning like UNN, UNILAG, UI, OAU, ABU and the likes. Over the Years, it has been observed that candidates who perform well at the UTME examination, actually record extremely poor results at the University's post UTME, and this is a fact that has been proven at different institutions.

I see it as a ploy to Favour the north, as their candidates fairly pass post UTME, hence, they would use jamb score to Favour them.

if anything has to be gone, its JAMB itself.
