FG Plans To Revoke License Of Private Universities

The Federal Government ha s promised to revoke the license of Private Universities that fail to adhere to the rules and regulations guiding the post utme screening. This is a warning to the private institutions that were secretly practicing written post utme. It also promised to sack the vice chancellor of any institution that practices in the act.
This warning, as reported by the Deputy Director Press at the federal ministry of education, Mr Bem Goong, was deemed necessary do to the discovery that a few institutions were still planning on carrying out written post utme test. A case study is the AFE BABALOLA UNIVERSITY Ado Ekiti (ABUAD) which was halted in the process of conducting Post utme exams.
Here is what Mr Bem Goong said;

“One of the parents alerted me about what they were trying to do, and I in turn contacted the permanent secretary outright, who mandated me to convey the development to the National Universities Commission (NUC), and the executive secretary of the commission was duly briefed.

“On learning of this development, we promptly reacted and the exercise was stopped at that centre. By the time we got there, they had actually gone in and had even started the examination. So, we had to stop them and also informed them that if they choose to go ahead, they would face serious sanctions from the NUC. We, however, do not know whether they went ahead in other centres around the country, where the exercise was meant to take place.”

Goong warned that such act will not be tolerated.

“For federal universities, 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. So, it is very important that they comply with government’s directives as it concerns scrapping of written post-UTME.”
