The Senate on Thursday endorsed the Post-Universities and other Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Post-UTME) despite the controversy that has trailed its introduction by the nation’s tertiary institutions.
The Senate also advocated the complete ban of all Special Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Examination Centres popularly called ‘Miracle centres’
The upper legislative chamber also noted that JAMB is currently faced with a lot of challenges in the conduct of “fool-proof” matriculation examinations but noted that the agency has not failed.
These followed the consideration of the report of the Senate Committee on Education, on the investigation of illegality of Post UTME and the failure of JAMB to conduct examinations acceptable to universities during plenary in Abuja.
The Chairman of the Committee, Senator Uche Chukwumerije while presenting the report, noted that the “Post-UTME is not illegal.”
“No stakeholder during the public hearing challenged its legality. Rather, some (especially JAMB) queried the propriety and legality of the written part of Post-UTME’s screening exercise,” Chukwumerije said.
He said the committee considered Post UTME “both legal and legitimate” because the Act setting up JAMB allows it, while the Statue of each university gives its Senate power of admission and discipline of students.
He added that the Universities (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Amendment) Act 2003 has not been abrogated.

It's pointless and baseless for Senate to endorse post Utme when you consider the resources been wasted on a yearly basis. That makes UTME a toothless bulldog.

Post utme makes sense. Helps root out those who cheated on jamb.

jamb and post utme needs combined, because its a complete waste of time and money, must they over-work student before they know their ability. ****Motto: naija where everything is upside down. Versa-vice

Post UTME, has no syllabus,thus candidates are tested with questions from no where, ,questions are most times not relevant to the proposed field of studies for which the candidates are duly prepared  ,,, Universities, especially state universities use that opportunity to hand pick candidates of their interests,to meet the Governor"s lists, his wife"s list, the VC" lists, the Registrar"s list, the senate had better think twice.

Chai so thm chop our money knw giv us admissn ha 9ja senators wel it wil favour thm dat meanz after JAMB wil stil dnt hv hope of admissn

The payment must be an arrangement within the supervisor and invigilators.

Bravo!! Welcome development!!!Universities have been recording better performance since the post UTME has benn introddued. Other serious higher institutions should start conducting post UTME ASAP.

Regardless of the cost of running the exams, its benefits massively outweigh its demerits.
