Greed indeed has stuck in the
nerves of many Nigerians and requires series of surgery to uproot. Tertiary
institutions in Nigeria have not yet overcome their loss since the scraping of
Post UTME in the school system, as they no longer have the opportunity to
extort money from the helpless candidates seeking admission. To make up for
their loss, it is obvious they are exploring other possible means of filling
their pockets without thinking of the welfare of their victims.
Recently, the reports has it
that The federal government issued queries to 42 universities that were discovered
to have charged more than the N2,000 instructed by the education ministry to
conduct the 2017 post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations. The reports
had it that this was revealed by the registrar of the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Is-haq Oloyede at a stakeholders’ meeting
on the 2018 UTME in Abuja.
According to Oloyede, the
Education Minister Adamu Adamu ordered that the excess should be returned to the
affected candidates while the excess from those candidates who could not be traced
should be paid to a non-religious orphanage.
Why the payment of N2000 in the
first place just to check certificates after paying for Jamb, or have they succeeded
in bringing back the scraped Post UTME again? Why does it seem like getting
admission abroad is now easier for Nigerians than getting it in Nigeria?
Nigeria should fix its educational structure once and for all and make it work.
The idea of introducing series of educational policies is not the best because
if we cannot make the former to work then that same problem that affected the former
structure will also affect the later. There is no magic.
