The House of Representatives
yesterday ordered the Federal
Ministry of Education and the
National Universities Commission
(NUC) to ensure the immediate
abolition of Post-University
Matriculation Examination (Post-
UME) in the nation's universities.

To ensure that the resolution is
abided with, the House
mandated its Committee on
Legislative Compliance to
enforce it.

Members also resolved that the
House committee on Education
and Justice should investigate
the collection of N10, 000 by
the Joint Admissions and
Matriculations Board (JAMB)
from candidates whose aresults
are being withheld with a view
to release it.

This was sequel to the adoption
of resolutions on two motion
brought before the House by
Hon. Samson Positive and Hon.
Abubarkar Shehu Bunu.

In a motion titled: "Abolition of
Post University Matriculation
Examination (Post UME) in
Nigerian Universities," Positive
noted that the introduction of
post matriculation examination
in Nigerian Universities is an
aberration.

According to him, the exercise is
"subjective, adjudged with
stress and also an exploitation
of candidates and parents."

He said that the exercise is
associated with the risk of
travelling long distances by the
candidates and that they
spend" within the range of N15,
000 to N30, 000.

Positive stated: "The current
introduction of Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination
(UTMA) by Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB)
where candidates have six
choices -two of universities and
two of Polytechnics and two of
Colleges of Education renders
Post University Matriculation
Examination unnecessary."

He concluded that in spite of
the fact that the admission
offered by the Joint Admissions
and Matriculation Board (JAMB)
is provisional, "Nigerian
Universities conduct Post
Matriculation Examination only
to raise their internally
generated revenue (IGR) at the
detriment of our poor
candidates and parents."

A load of folks look for admission eigther by Jamb or DE. some have already finished yet they seek for admission for one course or the other, I hope it works sha cos Naija of nowadays dont stick to what they say, all d best lol.
