The Federal Ministry of
Education yesterday said only the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) can admit students into universities.
Daily
Trust report continues:
The
ministry also said universities had no business admitting candidates other
than those sent to it by JAMB but could screen candidates to remove those
with anti-social traits and suspicious credentials.
The
Director, Press and Public Relations, in the ministry, Mr. Ben Bem Goong, also
denied media reports that the earlier decision to cancel post-Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME) was upturned.
He
said while the ban on post-UTME stayed, screening was only for those admitted
by JAMB and limited to examination of credentials and physical examination of
candidates to ensure that they are not cultists.
“All these should be done upon resumption. No university is allowed to have anything to do with any applicant who is not its student. Screening and registration are only for those who have been admitted by JAMB,” he said.
