Fg cancels post utme #
It seems like you're referring to the cancellation of the Post-UTME examination by the Federal Government (FG) in Nigeria.
For those who may not know, the Post-UTME examination is a requirement for admission into many Nigerian universities, where students who have taken the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are required to sit for an additional examination to determine their suitability for admission into their preferred institution.
The cancellation of the Post-UTME examination was announced by the Federal Government in 2020, as part of efforts to reduce the stress and financial burden on students and their parents. The decision was made after a meeting between the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, and the Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian universities.
According to reports, the FG decided to cancel the Post-UTME examination due to the following reasons:
- To reduce the financial burden on students and their parents, who often have to pay for the examination and other related expenses.
- To reduce the stress and anxiety associated with the examination, which can affect students' mental health.
- To promote a more transparent and merit-based admission process, where students are admitted based on their UTME scores and other relevant factors.
The cancellation of the Post-UTME examination has been welcomed by many students and parents, who see it as a step in the right direction towards making education more accessible and affordable in Nigeria.
