the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations.
While
announcing this in Abuja to declare open the 2016 combined policy meeting on
admission to universities, polytechnics and other higher institutions in
Nigeria, the Minister of Education ,
Malam Adamu Adamu, said the federal government has confidence in the
examinations conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, adding
that there is no need for other examinations to be conducted by universities
after JAMB exams.
“As

universities should not be holding another examination and if the universities
have any complain against JAMB, let them bring it and then we address it,” he
said.
