Former Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission,
NUC, Professor Peter Okebukola, has said that Nigerian
universities deviated from the initial agreement NUC had
with Vice-Chancellors in 2004 when it introduced post-UTME
to screen candidates on oral interview and written essay.
He also said out the present position as revealed to him by
the Vice-Chancellors, after their meeting with Malam Adamu
Adamu last Thursday, was that the Minister had directed
that universities should no longer conduct the same type of
test as JAMB, but should be free to further subject
candidates to screening to meet their local peculiarities.
Okebukola, who spoke exclusively with Vanguard, lamented
that universities had since deviated from the initial
agreement of post-UTME disclosed that the 2004 model had
a screening component which was agreed with all vice-
chancellors to be through oral interview and essay which
JAMB assessment did not cover.
The former NUC Scribe expressed joy in the scrapping of
post-UTME, adding that it now took the universities system
back to the original model of post-UME which NUC initiated
in 2004 while he served as Executive Secretary.
While expatiating on reasons for the introduction of post-
UTME in 2014, he explained that the NUC and the vice-
chancellors discovered that more than ever before, they
needed to admit into the universities, secondary school
leavers, from the large pool, including those who have at
least two characteristics.
The first characteristic, he noted, was to ensure that
admission seekers attained minimum cognitive competence in
the relevant subjects in the discipline they wished to study;
and second to test their competence in written and oral
English, critical thinking and ability to present ideas in
logical sequence befitting of undergraduates in Africa’s
most-expansive and well-regarded university system.
‘’JAMB’s UTME targets only the first characteristic; while
the university-level screening should measure the second,’’ he
said.
