The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Monday protested against the decision of the Federal Government to scrap the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination( Post-UTME)
Warning that the scrapping “portends a serious danger for the quality of education in Nigeria,” the union also said the decision undermined the autonomy and powers of universities’ Senate as the highest policy-making body on academic matters, particularly admission of students and award of degrees.
The ASUU President, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, who stated this in Abuja, added that the Federal Government did not consult the union on the matter.
“The cancellation of post-UTME to us portends a serious danger for the quality of education in this country.
“The argument of Federal Government on the policy is unacceptable and potentially harmful to the future of Nigerian’s education system. We call on the government to rescind its decision and convene a genuine stakeholders’ meeting on the issue before making any policy statement,” he said.
