After the scrapping off post-utme there have been a lot of confusion everywhere whether schools will still conduct or not, below are the words of the NUC Chairman
The government explained that all tertiary institutions were at liberty to conduct screening for candidates seeking admission into any school.
Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, said this on Thursday in Abuja after declaring open the 2016 Combined Policy Meeting on Admissions to Universities, Polytechnics and other higher institutions in Nigeria.
Adamu, expressed confidence in the examination 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.
“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.”He said: “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.
We are still not sure that some schools will adhere to this as most of them had already conducted their exams while some are still releasing their forms.
Example is UNIPORT who plans to start selling her post-utme form from June 15th, 2016.
We advise all students to keep reading their books, relax and see how the event will finally unfold.
