The Federal Government has lifted the ban on the controversial examinations usually organised by universities in Nigeria for admission seekers after the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME).

The Federal Government had last year ordered the scrapping of post-UTME for candidates.Speaking in an exclusive interview with The Guardian in Abuja yesterday, the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, said universities could now organise post-UTME as a pre-condition to gaining admission into universities in the country.

The minister, who however urged university authorities to make the fees for the screening affordable and not to impose huge financial burden on the parents, said: “We are going to allow universities to organise post-UTME if they want.

“We have asked them not to impose huge financial burden on the parents. The burden should not be more than what they can bear.”Adamu said that the Federal Government had stopped the scrapping of the examination to fully understand what was going on in universities, adding: “We are now wiser.”

The minister, who expressed confidence in the examination conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), said the management of JAMB had remitted N5 billion to the Federal Government coffers, which happens to be the highest so far in the last 40 years of the board’s existence.

He said: “Since JAMB was established more than 40 years ago, the total amount it has given government was N200 million, but in one year, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede has remitted N5 billion to government.

“The new JAMB registrar has been correcting many anomalies in the board. Within a year, he has been able to stop all the untold things that were happening there.

you will start having problem with yourself if you start comparing yourself with others. if you pass you will be admitted.

Efewestern:


am speaking base on experience, Delsu post ume is computer base, results are out 2 days after the exam, if you score high then your admission is sure . you just gat to agree with me that screen base on waec is fraudulent and breeds corruption.

macduffrx:


what's the essence of paying again when you will pay school fee again. in AAUA the school fee i7 25 -30k and the acceptance fee is 51K, 61K. i even heard that those given admission last paid almost 81k. what's the use of acceptance fee?

NevetsIbot:


Bro.. now imagine those smart ones who scored horribly low this year and because p.ume has been scrapped went to change course to a far lesser course just to secure admission.

how will they feel knowing that post ume has been restored when you can't change your edited choice of course again. Is this not wickedness and stupidity


why would these people keep toying with everything the dull ones get the admission... the smart ones flop.


akugba didn't get me In for law last year but I saw more than ten people who we're like 7 marks below my point resume for the same law. last year!!!! even one of the dullards in my class back in 2013 got in and the guy still knows noting but yahho and girls!!

another friend beat Akugbas cut off by over 8points in 2014... the y denied him law cost he was probably igbo...

naija.. which way??

This is a good development, I teach in a private school were almost all the students go A's, and B's in all their subjects and the worse part of it is that 90% of these students knows nothing but they only pass with COPY AND PASTE after all the students were made to pay 10k each for expo!!! Thank God for these development

The bane of corruption in Nigeria is dominant in Education sector after public office.

No doubt, their chance to continue stealing from undergraduates granted to them once more.

What the hell is "acceptance fee"?

Youngman, i advice you to sit back and start reading your books now before is too late. many a people was looking for the opportunity to write post utme last year but no means. count yourself a lucky man.

CHIMDIYA4EVA:
why the f### would someone supposedly smart score low in jamb? This country is just f*cked up.

NevetsIbot:
if you did jamb last year and this year... you'll understand. why didnt I and my friends who are gurus score less than 240 before 2014? ... then after 2014 we all barely reached 220 while the kids who just got outta school get 290+ even my guy who ticked randomly scored 260 this year! one sentence.. he can't construct..


please. don't annoy me today

macduffrx:
When I needed it most, they took it away and now when it of no use to me, Post utme is now back. it's a good thing though.

CHIMDIYA4EVA:

Every one knows that there were errors in last years jamb no doubt, but that of this year is better. I just think that post jamb should be scrapped coz it's so stressful. If students could write it from their states of residence, it would have been better. This country soon tire me jorr

sayyid:
lifting the ban in my own opinion is a good development, because screening students based on WAEC, NECO etc alone is not okay, they should allow universities to screen them according to the way they see fit. what the federal government should do is to regulate the amount that will be paid for the screening by each student, they must ensure that the money is affordable for all parents/wards.
