According to the report, the universities have devised other means to test applicants and charge administrative fees in the process.

The universities were said to have invited applicants for admission for the 2016/2017 academic session, ask them to pay certain amount and also sit for a screening test before being considered for admission.

Interestingly, some of the universities put out the requirements in adverts displayed on the pages of various national newspapers.

The University of Benin (UNIBEN), in an advertisement in one of the papers, said its screening would be computer-based and candidates are expected to pay N2, 000 and N1, 000 for past questions (optional).

When contacted, UNIBEN public relations officer, Mr Michael Osasuyi justified the advertisement, adding that the university is not violating any government directive.

‘’Parents should wait for us to conduct our screening before complaining. We are in order. UNIBEN screening started from the cut-off mark. The amount we are asking candidates to pay is administrative charges for the admission exercise,’’ Oasuyi said.
