Federal Government has threatened to revoke the operational licenses of private universities that flout the directive on written post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (post-UTME)in the country.
Deputy Director, Press at the Federal Ministry of Education, Mr. Bem Goong who issued the warning said has become necessary as some institutions were still bent on going ahead with the written test, even after the government had since abolished it.
Goong stated this in an interview, alleging that Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD) was stopped from carrying out a post-JAMB examination over the weekend in the Garki area of the Federal Capital Territory.
He further warned institutions against operating at variance with Federal Government’s directive, as it would not be tolerated.
For federal universities, Goong said there are also sanctions, because the vice chancellors are public servants, and it could be worse for them because they would be seriously dealt with, and could even be sacked.
He insisted that it was very important that they all comply with government’s directives as it concerns scrapping of written post-UTME.
