The Federal Government has
issued a go ahead to all Nigerian universities, polytechnics and other
institutions to conduct Post-UTME screening as a pre-condition to gaining
admission into institutions of higher learning.
You will recall that
some few years back the same federal government of Nigeria had banned the conduct
of the said post Unified tertiary matriculation examination screening popularly
known as aptitude test on the platform that, this institution are using this
platform to extort money from innocent Nigerian candidate and therefore set
JAMB as the only examination body to conduct the entrance examination for any
tertiary institution in Nigeria.
This is no doubt the
profess change in the country of ours is becoming an issue of concern on the
other hand seeing that JAMB have failed in their own part by setting the
cut-off mark of 120 and 100 for university and polytechnic respectively is
indeed alarming.

The minister explains
that the Federal Government scrapped the controversial examination in order to
fully understand what was going on in the institutions.
The minister added that
the government was now wiser regarding the conduct of the examination.
He however urged the
institutions to make the fees affordable.
“We are going to allow
universities to have some choice. Universities can now decide to organize
post-UTME, if they want,” he added.
“We have asked them not
to impose huge financial burden on the parents. The post-UTME should not be an
avenue to enrich the university at the expense of the candidate or the parent,
the minister lament.
