What’s the point in conducting post
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination by universities all over
Nigeria particularly private ones when candidates’ good performance in
that exam does not really guarantee anything? After all, what
universities do with post UTME results is subject to the dictates of the
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
Why do universities make both parents
and admission seekers go through unnecessary hardship when they know
that JAMB has the final say on who is admitted to the university at the
end of the day?
Parents and guardians of admission
seekers spend extra money every year on air and road travels in their
bid to take their children and wards to venues of their post UTME. Apart
from the huge costs involved, some die in accidents. Some parents and
children were reportedly some of the victims of the last plane crash in
the country.
