JAMB: FG Tells Institutions How Much To Charge For Post-UTME

The Federal Government on Tuesday warned that it would sanction any tertiary institution which charges more than N2,000 for Post-UTME.
Minister of Education, Alhaji Adamu Adamu, gave the warning at the ongoing Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Policy Meeting on Admissions into Tertiary Institutions in Gbongan, Osun.
Adamu said, “At the 2017 policy meeting, I endorsed that any institution which was interested in conducting any form of Post-UTME screening could do so, but that the gross charge for the screening should not be more than N2,000.
“Once again, let me caution heads of tertiary institutions that it would not be tolerated for any institution to charge any fee beyond the approved two thousand naira (N2,000).
“Firmer sanctions than those of last session shall be applied to cases of violation,” the minister said.
Adamu, however, said that the policy meeting would continue to be the forum where the agenda, guidelines, modalities, and timelines would be set for the purpose of admissions to universities, polytechnics, monotechnics and colleges of education in Nigeria.
“Therefore, no admission to any tertiary institutions should be announced before the policy meeting.

Buhari Dissolves Governing Board of NABTEB

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the dissolution of the Governing Board of National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB).
The decision was contained in a three paragraph statement issued by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Sonny Echono, on Monday in Abuja.
The decision is with immediate effect.
The President also rescinded the suspension of NABTEB Registrar, Prof. Ifeoma Abanihe and four (4) other Directors of the agency.
The statement said their suspension did not conform to due process especially in the case of the registrar.
According to the statement, the Governing Board went beyond its powers and in contravention of Section 5 and Section 6 of NABTEB Act.
