All Nigerian Universities Warned To Return Monies Collected For Post-UTME

The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu has directed all tertiary institutions that have conducted money for Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination [post-UTME] to immediately refund same.

"Those who have already advertised for the conduct of the Post-UTME under any guise should stop the exercise immediately as any university caught conducting Post-UTME will face appropriate sanctions.

 "If any tertiary Institution has already conducted Post-UTME, such an exercise stands annulled and money taken from such candidates must be refunded immediately."

In a statement issued by Deputy Director Press and Public Relations of the Ministry of Education, Ben Bem Goong, Minister Adamu declared that post-UTME examinations already taken are null and void.

The ban is with immediate effect, and under no circumstance should any institution violate the directive.

This is coming weeks after the Federal government scrapped the Post-UTME saying that it has confidence “in what JAMB is doing”.
