It would be recalled that the Education
Minister, Mallam Adamu Adamu had said that
there will be no need to conduct another test
for students to gain admission into tertiary
institutions as JAMB is qualified enough to
conduct the tests.
"As far as I am concerned, if the nation has
confidence in what JAMB is doing, the
universities should not be holding another
examinations.
"If the universities have any complain against
JAMB, let them bring it and then we address
it", he said.
Yemi-Esan said that since the minister made
the pronouncement, universities should comply
with it.
However, various universities have been
sending out notices via the media for the test
even as some stakeholders believe that the
Federal Government has scrapped exercise.
