Federal Government Of Nigeria Scrap Post Utme by nob7(m): 3:41pm On Jun 03, 2016 |
Federal Government Of Nigeria Scrap Post UTME –
This is just coming in now now. We have finally
gotten the go ahead to announce to the generality
of the masses that The Federal Government have
finally scrapped off the conduct of post Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) for all
candidates who are seeking admission into higher
institution.
This stipulates that tertiary institutions as it where
do have a full liberty to conduct screening for
candidates seeking admission into any school.
Adamu
Mallam Adamu Adamu the Minister of Education,
was on hand to deliver this information in the early
hours of Thursday in Abuja after openly declaring
the 2016 Combined Policy Meeting on Admissions
to Universities, Polytechnics and other higher
institutions in Nigeria.
From the way Mallam Adamu Adamu sounded via
his speech, it appeared that the Minister of
Education expressed some full level of confidence
in the examination that been conducted by the
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB),
adding that there was no need for other
examination to be conducted by universities after
JAMB.
“As far as I am concerned the nation has
confidence in what JAMB is doing. The universities
should not be holding another examination and if
the universities have any complain against JAMB
let them bring it and then we address it.
“If JAMB is qualified enough to conduct tests and
they have conducted test then there will be no
need to conduct another test for students to gain
admission.”
Further more, Mallam Adamu Adamu directed the
JAMB board to stop extra charges on several
categories of changes on admissions which
includes change of course, change of school and
others.
We also had a report from the seen that JAMB has
pegged the cut off mark for admission for 2016 at
180.
Which means that 180 will be the benchmark, and
it will apply to all universities and higher
institutions in the country, including polytechnics,
colleges of education, and others.
According to JAMB’s Registrar and Chief Executive
Officer, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, after a long debate with
delegates from various institutions, told journalists
that no institution would go below the 180 cut-off
set by the board but for some exception.
Prof. Dibu Ojerinde said: “180 is given, no
institution will go below 180 this year, And some
universities can go above it, I know University of
Ife will not go below 200 and University of Lagos
will not go below 200 and also UI. All these ones
stand but 180 as bench mark for others.
“This year we have more than enough candidates,
we have over 1.5 million candidates so we will get
enough candidates to take in all the schools if they
are serious. Re-distribution is already ongoing,
because it is embedded in the registration
procedure.”
Well, i do not know how the generality of the
public will take this. But whatever be their
reactions, we will let everyone know about it. But
for the now, lets hope this will get us to our
destined educationa system. |
