FG grants Tertiary Institutions permission to conduct PUTME

The Federal Government of Nigeria has lifted the bans placed on tertiary Institutions that prohibited them from conducting the Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations as a procedure for admission into public institutions.

This was made known by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu.

He made this known in Abuja noting that post-UTME across all public universities, polytechnics and other tertiary institutions were earlier scrapped in order to know what was going on within institutions.

He said:

“We are going to allow universities to have some choice. Universities can now decide to organise post-UTME, if they want.”

Concerning the hiked Post-UTME fees, he said;

“We have asked them not to impose huge financial burden on the parents. The burden should not be more than what they can bear.
