over the procedure for gaining admission into the universities
following the abolition of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME).

banned.
In a combined policy meeting on admissions to universities, polytechnics and other higher

theNigerian public have confidence in the examinations conducted by
the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, there was no need
for other examinations to be conducted by universities after the JAMB
exams.
