Federal Government to scrap the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination.

During the protest yestrday in Abuja , The ASUU President, Prof.
Biodun Ogunyemi, who stated this in Abuja, added that the Federal
Government did not consult the union on the matter.
He said, “The cancellation of post-UTME to us portends a serious danger for the quality of education in this country.

potentially harmful to the future of Nigerian’s education system. We
call on the government to rescind its decision and convene a genuine
stakeholders ‘ meeting on the issue before making any policy statement.”
