Please, help me ask him whether he sat for post utme during his time or not. Good riddance to rubbish. Money syphoning and exploiting conduit aborted, blocked and sealed.

They can kick all they want.
Post UTME is a good riddance that shouldnt ever be brought back.

Ooooooooo! I'm tired of all these bullshit, are these vc's saying these because they want to screen students or because of the postutme fee.

Is this not how they get their money, so what do u espect? Useless creatures!

That means, you people are not conducting the exams because u want to screan candidate but to raise money for yourself. If I say you be thief, you will say you no be thief and if I say you be robber, you will say you no be robber and if I say you be armed robber say you no be armed robber, tell me wetin you be?

Seriously, in as much as people are rejoicing over the scrapping of post-UTME, I personally do not think it's a good omen. This is because JAMB as a body isn't a reliable one.




I've seen cases where very bright students end up scoring abysmal marks as JAMB scores and it tend to make me wonder what really happened!(It once happened to me).





So,finally, my point is,if you are able to achieve a very high JAMB score,why not prove it in post-UTME? IF ANYTHING SHOULD BE SCRAPPED,IT'S JAMB AND NOT POST-UTME.

I love your point, there should be jamb & postutme, jamb isn't reliable at all, this year jamb has been a complete failure. Postutme is there to give chance to does cheated by jamb to prove them, I won't be surprise if someone with 200 score upto 300 or 75% in postutme

So you have not seen cases where a brilliant chap who passed the cut off mark of post utme is not given admission or given a very stupid course and a rich man's child is taken through the back door.. It is still the same thing, Though I'm not taking sides here. I am only opposing that your opinion

"Ogunyemi noted that most universities were under-funded and therefore, might have used some of the money to attend to urgent needs of the institution."....................Datz y Rufus Giwa Poly wanted to sell post utme form for 10,000.?Wickedness of highest order........

They should scrap the universities as well, so employers can train and employ job seekers on their term.


Young man, federal agencies and parastatals are setup with various responsibilities. NDLEA oversees hard drug related activities, NAFDAC oversees food and soft drug related activities. JAMB was set up, like other agencies/parastatals, to handle admission and matriculation activities. No federal or state university has the right to conduct any entrance examination. It is the responsibility of JAMB to conduct credible entrance examination, and handle matriculation in various federal, state, and private universities. Universities can work with JAMB in making the UTME examination fair and credible.



Our children shouldn't be made to pay twice for entrance examination.

How do they expect an institution to admit the large number of applicants at a time.whr dy wan keep dem

In true sense of it, Post-UTME is all about generating money for the universities (chancellors and top staff) to feed on? Issorai!

I think our prob here is JAMB exam, not putme, instead of having one privilege of admission once in a year u collect number of schools form that suit you, go to the schools and do exam like they do in all western world.



The issue of jamb exam should be scrapped, jamb should only oversee admission process like money paid form, type of screening etc...



With this our children will not stay too long at home...

Though FG was right in his decision, but not hitting the target.


[/b]My opinion[b]

Seunnzy:
is jamb nt extorting money too.if they meant well they cud av scrapped UTME instead coz institutions are to admit students on their own terms.in the past 4yrs UTME has fared worse than post UTME so why nt scrap it instead.These bunch of re-tards just wanna degrade our Education system with their confused policy

Thank you o... There re very few nigerians who reason right.

First, I think institution should determine its terms and condition for admitting students. Go to UK, US and other advanced country... What is UTME, make or O'level or A'level and apply to any university of ur choice. Such universities determine the terms n condition

Secondly, the likes of unilorin, UI, OAU, Uniben will have well over 30,000 people, who qualify for admission but each of this schools can't admit more than 8,000 each. What becomes of the one who's got no 'leg' in the university. One who made good result but no body in the university to help him.


Thirdly, Mr Mallam Adamu Adamu, if ur interest is to curb extortion... I'm sorry, you just opened a wide door for extortion. Cos, men will now bribe their way with a huge sum to university lecturers to gain admission. Mr mallam, why not regulate the cost of postUTME form. Why not return to the decision of the 6th Senate. N1000 naira for post utme form. Pls don't be misguided Sir.

Thank you

Yours Sincerely.

Assholes abi ASUU u guys should Park well.... What is done is done.. ASUU fighting for post utme money.... Mofos

But wat kinda country is this?...
Since universities are under-funded..u tot it morally justified to rob the aspiring & desperate university admittees of post-utme money dat doesn't even d least guarantee dem admission at all..
Y not juz be open in d 1st place nd tell all aspirin admittees dat d monies bein paid is mere donation to d sch rather dan hide unda d post-utme umbrella..

[quote author=MaQuin post=47043114]The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, on Wednesday, kicked against the Federal Government’s directive for tertiary institutions to scrap the Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, Post-UTME, for admission of candidates for the 2016/2017 academic session, saying the quality of tertiary education in the country could improve if the institutions are allowed to regulate their students admission process.


ASUU President, Comrade Biodun Ogunyemi, said such freedom would enhance the quality of education.

Recall that at a recent joint policy meeting to decide the cut off mark for students seeking admission into the universities, the government announced the scrapping of post-unified tertiary matriculation examination (UTME).

The Post UTME is the second stage of screening usually conducted by universities for the final selection of candidates qualified for admission for an academic session.

Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu had threatened to sanction any university or tertiary institution found conducting examinations under any guise to admit students.

He further directed tertiary institutions that had collected money from candidates for such purposes to immediately refund it or face appropriate sanctions.

The ASUU boss told NAN that such directive encroached on the autonomy of the institutions.

“I think government should give these institutions the chance to regulate themselves,” he said.

“They should decide for themselves, the process they dim fit to admit their students. The Senate of universities for example, should decide on the process they want to use in selecting candidates.

“We do not think it’s right for government to decide the method of screening of the candidates, indeed, we want to attain some level of sanity and quality in the system.”

The unionist added that government could only come into the process by putting in place the necessary guidelines as part of their oversight functions.

According to him, it may not also be easy for institutions that had already collected money for the conduct of the post-UTME or screening in whatever guise to refund such money.

He added that this was because such money could have been diverted to other purposes.

Ogunyemi noted that most universities were under-funded and therefore, might have used some of the money to attend to urgent needs of the institution.

“Some of the arguments raised in this entire episode is that universities or tertiary institutions were using the conduct of such examination to make money,” he said.

“But the truth is, these institutions are poorly funded. If universities for example are properly funded, will the vice-chancellors be looking for other means of making money?

“In the last seven months, university workers have been receiving incomplete salaries, that is, the disbursement of funds for payment of salaries has always been inadequate.

“When situations like this arise, the managements will not be left with any choice than to look inwards and seek means of meeting such needs.

“And one of such strategies is by conducting such examination.”

Ogunyemi noted that the state universities were worst hit for many of them had yet to receive subvention in the last one year.

“Actually we in ASUU frown at extortion of any type from students or candidates but the government too should be alive to its responsibilities by providing the enabling environment that will aid teaching, leaning and research.”

oleole thunda fire olof dem

But that statement that university needs that money to fund their school is foolish statement from that man...

Tho I did not support jamb exam, school should screen candidates for admission. With this u can collect number of forms in a year to pursue admission in diff schools

I just hope ASUU won't go on strike this time

Naija which way

Quakertellicus1:
Agree with ASUU....

PTUME should be kept on because universities thrive on good students, not on bad students.

I'm sure there was once a time when PUTME wasn't written.

In fact, I think this generation of graduates possess lesser quality, so what do you people mean by the good student/bad student argument?

ASUU should get lost and abide by the law or they should all be rounded up and locked in prisons across the country.

We can bring people from Asia to take their place.

Nonsense.

Dariye:
They are even shamelessly admitting to the extortion, so because schools are under funded, innocent struggling students should pay and it is not as if their admission is sure o

Totally rubbish. .. So they wasting more than 60% peeps money Wen de know they wunt b admitted.
Dem suppose hang dem for that point

Cherishing:
Why are both parties confused

They re all in the right sense.

We re all looking for a way forward in this country .


FG should simply allow them conduct their exams with little or no money taken from the students .


But country hard: everyday jungle dey mature, that's the only way some tertiary schools can generate huge revenue internally. SMH

Not by talking much money from students.. Haba

Post utme isn't conducted to screen candidates but to make money for themselves. Do you know the kind of cheating and fraud that take place during the post utme rubbish? you all should just thank that minister.

Post utme is conducted to make money, simple. Do the maths (5,000 applicants x N5,000) and see. After writing such exams less than 500 applicants are admitted on MERIT. then another stage of extortion and corruption begins, it's called SUPPLEMENTARY.

haven't you seen a medicine and surgery aspirant given micro-biology despite doing well in both exams?

Education minister has made it clear. Screen candidates using their certificates(O level or A level) as applicable abroad. Stop charging exorbitant fees to conduct rubbish.

I'm sure those Vc's must have gone to price luxury cars and maybe landed properties hoping to pay after they conduct post utme....e pain them *lol*
