Worried by the anxiety that has trailed the purported scrapping of
the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME and the National
Examination Council, NECO, the Federal Government has cleared the air on
the matter, saying that no decision has been taken on the matter.
Many groups including members of the National Assembly and labour unions have already kicked against the planned scrapping of the institutions, which have been providing services for students across the country.
Although the government is yet to issue a white paper on the recommendation of the Oronsaye Report, which recommended the reduction of government agencies to a reasonable number to save costs, a top government official last week leaked a report to state House correspondents, claiming that NECO and UTME had been laid to rest.
