The Federal Ministry of Education has decided to convene a meeting with vice-chancellors, admission officers and other stakeholders to discuss processes for the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

Dr. Folashade Yemi-Esan, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, who made this known on Wednesday in Abuja, said the meeting would hold next week.

Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, recently raised concern over the post-UTME test being conducted by various universities.

“As far as I am concerned, if the nation has confidence in what JAMB is doing, the universities should not be holding another examination.

“If the universities have any complain against JAMB, let them bring it and then we address it.

“But if JAMB is qualified enough to conduct tests and they have conducted a test, then there will be no need to conduct another test for students to gain admission,’’ Adamu had said.

Yemi-Esan said that the minister had made a pronouncement which should be complied with.
