FG Formally Bans Post-UTME, Orders Strict Compliance

The Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu has reiterated the ban on the Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, otherwise known as Post-UTME, saying that the ban is with immediate effect.



A statement issued and signed by Ben Goong, the Deputy Director of Press and Public Relations in the ministry, quoted the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, as saying that the ban was with immediate effect and directed all higher institutions to comply with the directive.



The statement said: “The ban is with immediate effect, and under no circumstance should any institution violate the directive.



“The responsibility for admission into public tertiary institutions lies solely with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and under no circumstance whatsoever, should anybody or institution take over that responsibility by proxy.



“For the avoidance of doubt, any educational institution after secondary education is regarded as a tertiary institution.



“Therefore, all tertiary institutions, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, Universities or by whatever name it is called after secondary education, must be subjected to admission through the JAMB.”



The statement said at the end of probationary admission by JAMB, the candidates could be screened for final admission.


Adamu was quoted as having said: “Those who have already advertised for the conduct of the Post-UTME under any guise should stop the exercise immediately as any university caught conducting Post-UTME will face appropriate sanctions.



“If any tertiary Institution has already conducted Post-UTME, such an exercise stands annulled and money taken from such candidates must be refunded immediately.”

The Senate Committee in charge of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has endorsed the establishment of a multi-billion-naira city located within the territory. It described the project as a heritage programme of the Nigerian centenary celebration.
In a report the committee compiled after an independent investigation of the project, it was made clear that “the centenary city project will stimulate both foreign and domestic investment to the tune of $18 billion, create 250,000 well-paying jobs, promote world-class urban infrastructure, leisure and entertainment and attract multinational retail chains to Nigeria, among other things.


The report signed by the chairman of the committee, Dino Melaye, which said the programme would support the urban renewal of Abuja and earn outstanding revenue for the FCT, also said that the project is entirely a private sector project that will be completed at no cost to the government.


It further stated that:
“The Centenary City Plc. (CC Plc or the company) is a public limited liability company formed by interested Nigerian and foreign investors for the purpose of carrying on the centenary city project”.

Presidency replies Saraki, says President Buhari is nobody’s stooge

,
The Presidency has dismissed insinuation by Senate President Bukola Saraki that President Muhammadu Buhari was operating “a government within the government.’’
This is contained in a statement issued by the president’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina and issued to newsmen on Monday in Abuja.
The statement said that the allegation was not worth the paper on which it was written, “as anybody can wake from a troubled sleep, and say anything.”
The statement reads, “President of the Senate, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, claims there is “now a government within the government of President Buhari’’ which has allegedly seized the apparatus of executive powers to pursue a nefarious agenda.
“This claim by Senator Saraki would have been more worth the while, if it had been backed with more information.
“If he had proceeded to identify those who constitute the “government within the government,” it would have taken the issue beyond the realm of fiction and mere conjecture.
“But as it stands, the allegation is not even worth the paper on which it was written, as anybody can wake from a troubled sleep, and say anything.
“The Attorney-General of the Federation is the Chief Law Officer of the state. It is within his constitutional powers to determine who has infringed upon the law, and who has not.
“Pretending to carry an imaginary cross is mere obfuscation, if, indeed, a criminal act has been committed. But we leave the courts to judge.
“To claim that President Muhammadu Buhari is anybody’s stooge is not only ridiculous, but also preposterous.
“It is not in the character of our President.’’
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Senate President after appearing at a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja over alleged forgery of Senate’s Rules book, alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration had been hijacked by a cabal.
He offered to go to jail in defence of Nigeria’s democracy.
