The Federal Ministry of Education and other stakeholders in the tertiary education
sub-sector have agreed to peg the fee for the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination screening at N2,500.
This was contained in a statement by the Secretary-General, Association of
Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities, Prof. Michael Faborode, on Wednesday
in Abuja.
Faborode said the agreement was reached after a meeting of officials of the
ministry, federal universities, polytechnics and colleges of education.
“From the statement made by the Permanent Secretary, Dr Folashade
Yemi-Esan, at the meeting, there is no objection to screening by universities
as long as it is not another CBT.”
According to the statement, the association will formally convey its stance to
the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu.“She agreed that
universities should advertise and the maximum fee that should be charged
for the screening should be N2,500 – bank charges inclusive,” he stated.
NAN reports that Adamu’s recent announcement of the ban on post-UTME had
raised a lot of dust among stakeholders..
