The Federal Government on Tuesday warned that it would sanction any tertiary institution which charges more than N2,000 for Post-UTME.

Minister of Education, Alhaji Adamu Adamu, gave the warning at the ongoing Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Policy Meeting on Admissions into Tertiary Institutions in Gbongan, Osun.

Adamu said:

“At the 2017 policy meeting, I endorsed that any institution which was interested in conducting any form of Post-UTME screening could do so, but that the gross charge for the screening should not be more than N2,000.

“Once again, let me caution heads of tertiary institutions that it would not be tolerated for any institution to charge any fee beyond the approved two thousand naira (N2,000).

“Firmer sanctions than those of last session shall be applied to cases of violation,” the minister said.

Adamu, however, said that the policy meeting would continue to be the forum where the agenda, guidelines, modalities, and timelines would be set for the purpose of admissions to universities, polytechnics, monotechnics and colleges of education in Nigeria.

“Therefore, no admission to any tertiary institutions should be announced before the policy meeting.

“It is appreciated that the meeting is being held early enough for the commencement of the new session.

“The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board should ensure that the policy meeting is now held not later than June every year”, Adamu said.

In his remarks, JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is’haq Oloyede, said UTME scores were not the cut off marks to gain admission into universities.

Oloyede said the marks were just minimum scores, adding that there were other assessments for consideration before a candidate could gain admission into tertiary institutions.

He also said that the number of candidates that were involved in examination malpractices in UTME had reduced drastically.

I really do not think it's appropriate to charge the candidates for post utme. Any institution that feels JAMB hasn't done a good job should be at liberty to conduct own assessment at no extra burden on the candidates.

Mr. Minister sir, please watch out for some institutions that will charge #2000 for post utme in compliance with the directive and then charge additional #3000 or more for portal access or any other nomenclature they deem fit.

4th to comment now??..... when will i be first??....

All this space booked above me. Receive early morning sense

Anyways check my SIGNATURE

Kwara state university Charges 5k for this year Post-UTME screening.

Useless news

Op hold on, I have to clarify something

Nice one but they will not adhered to it.


anyway check my SIGNATURE

Nice development.

just want to waste space, I honestly have nothing to say

Yhu can imagine how much they rake in yearly even at N2,000...but wherez dis money going to?

Every ministry/sector has a way of extorting money from Nigerians directly or indirectly yet no giving back to us in any way.


What do we even gain or enjoy from our government?

Nothing positive is happening in this country

If they don't pay it in coins , they ll surely pay it in cowry. no be naija .


anyway na the era of check my sig we dey o if you don't mind

Would dey listen wen u Fg has taught dem to steal wif style

What the heck do they even need the 2k for? They make hundreds of millions from this post utme yearly and still our universities are in total decay.

They will always have their ways ie post jamb +internet charge 2,500 + admin charges 5k = 7,500 and add Cafe fee

Imagine !!

Elecrion year and "proactiveness"

This is 9ja

ok.

This is NIGERIA. if dem go hear.

Why Post UME, I tot it was scrapped?

seunlayi:
They will always have their ways ie post jamb +internet charge 2,500 + admin charges 5k = 7,500 and add Cafe fee

you sabi their way

during GEJ same thing happen after FG pegged the fee...
immediately Post UME = 1500
back charge = 2000
etranzet (like interswitch) = 500
total = 4000

Where in the work is bank charges higher or even 50% of the payment?
just like acceptance fee in Federal Univ, education in Nigeria now is business (govt/private)

post ume are avenues for university to raise money for vice chancellors and their cronies.

Nigerian institutions will always find oda means of getting money frm d stdt

jamb as exam conducting body should be scrapped.....
