FG dares Varsities: Conduct Post-UTME, face
sanctions

---

Orders refund of money for already conducted
exams

Abuja— Minister of Education, Malam Adamu
Adamu, yesterday, reiterated the Federal
Government’s ban on Post-Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination, Post-UTME, conducted
by tertiary institutions for admission into
universities and other higher schools of learning
in the country.
Adamu told journalists in Abuja that any
institution that violates the directive will be
punished by the Federal Government.
He said: “The ban is with immediate effect and
under no circumstance should any institution
violate the directive. Those who have already
advertised for the conduct of the Post-UTME
under any guise should stop the exercise
immediately.

“If any tertiary institution has already conducted
Post-UTME, such an exercise stands annulled and
money taken from candidates must be refunded
immediately.”
He said the emphasis had become necessary to
ensure that no stakeholder was left in doubt
about government’s position on the matter.
He said: “For the avoidance of doubt, any
educational institution, after secondary education,
is regarded as a tertiary institution. Therefore, all
tertiary institutions, by whatever name it is called,
after secondary education, must be subjected to
admission through JAMB.”
He added that universities were at liberty to expel
any student who failed to meet up with the
requirements for any degree enrolled for.
He said there was no empirical evidence to show
that since the inception of Post-UTME,
universities had been having better students,
adding that students were still being expelled
annually for low performance, even as they gained
admission through Post-UTME.
He said parents and guardians spend fortunes on
transportation, hotel accommodation, examination
fees and sundry costs, just for their wards to gain
admission into universities; while in some cases,
parents die in the process of travelling to secure
admission for their wards, a situation he
described as painful and avoidable.
Adamu directed the National Universities
Commission, NUC, and the appropriate
departments in the ministry to communicate this
directive to relevant agencies and institutions to
ensure strict compliance.

kudos. I'm sure a prof chosen from their midst will not do this. Our professionals in this nation are the epitome of corruption not the politicians, yet ignorant citizens will always push for them to handle affairs of the nation in the name of technocrats.
