Post UTME examination is unconstitutional and illegal says Jamb registral

The registrar for JAMB Prof. Dibu Ojerinde in an interview on Channels TV declares the conduct of Post-Utme examination by Tartary institution in Nigeria as "Unconstitutional" and "Illegal"

He as well mentioned in his statement that JAMB was not responsible for scrapping of post-utme but was canceled by the Minister of Education after due consultation.

he also laid high emphases on the difference between screening and test. He explain that the   initial agreement is for institutions to conduct screening such as checking authentication of result, certificate, jamb scores, subject combination and other prerequisite to ensure they qualify for admission into the school and not making them to undergo any test inform of examination.

Backing his argument up, Prof Ojerinde made references to some  section of the constitution and also to the statement of the then president Olusegun Obansanjo  who said then 'I did not ask you to conduct another exam, all I say is screen the candidates before they come in’

 some of the section in the constitution he made mention was,

“Section 5, sub-section 1A of the constitution, the general control for the conduct of matriculation examination for admission into all the universities, polytechnics and Colleges of Education or whatever name called is vested in JAMB.

“Section 5, sub-section 2 also states; the board shall be responsible for determining matriculation requirements and conducting examination leading to undergraduate admission and also for admission into National Dipoma and National Certificate in Education, NCE.”
