VC's ADVISE SENATE AGAINST SCRAPPING OF POST-UME

Vice-Chancellors under the aegis of
Association of Vice-Chancellors of
Nigerian Universities (AVNU) have
written to the Senate on the legality
of the post-Universal Tertiary
Matriculation Examinations (UTME)
test.
The Senate described the post-UTME
test being conducted by tertiary
institutions as illegal, threatening
to outlaw it.
The vice-chancellors are moving to
ensure that the Senate does not
prevent universities from
conducting post-UTME tests.
AVNU Chairman and Vice Chancellor,
University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) Prof
Ish-aq Oloyede spoke to reporters
yesterday in Ilorin, the Kwara
State capital, he said vice-chancellors had
requested the Senate to hear their
side of the story before taking a
decision on the post-UTME test.
His words: “We have heard that the Senate is
threatening to outlaw post-UTME,
but the Senate is informed enough to
hear from all the parties before
taking its decision.”
