Federal Government
gives universities, polytechnics and other institutions go ahead to conduct
Post-UTME screening as a pre-condition to gaining admission into public
institutions.
The Federal
Government has lifted the ban on the conduct of examinations usually organised
by universities for admission seekers after the Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examinations (UTME).
This was
revealed in Abuja by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, saying that
Universities, Polytechnics and other institutions were free to organise
post-UTME screening as a pre-condition to gaining admission into public institutions.
He explained
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.
Adamu
however urged the institutions to make the fees affordable.
