Nigeria's Education Minister Adamu Adamu, has reiterated that the ban on post UTMEs in the country is with immediate effect.

“The ban is with immediate effect, and under no circumstance should any institution violate the directive," a statement issued by the education ministry said.

“The responsibility for admission into public tertiary institutions lies solely with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and under no circumstance whatsoever, should anybody or institution take over that responsibility by proxy.

“For the avoidance of doubt, any educational institution after secondary education is regarded as a tertiary institution.

“Therefore, all tertiary institutions, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, Universities or by whatever name it is called after secondary education, must be subjected to admission through the JAMB.’’

The statement said that at the end of probationary admission by JAMB, the candidates could be screened for final admission.
