Is a welcome development, but there should be agency that put a real fight to waec to ensure total commitment in their functions, if not waec will monopolize everything , as such neco should be allowed to remain as alternative means btw which one is NAPEP!!

ayodeji752: tel ur younga ones to come to ui wit their millions of naira to buy ui admissn or even go tru d vc.u hav no idea of wot some nigeria universities are all about

donroxy: Scrap NECO ke,
Holders of NECO certificate would surely be awarded Alternative certificate probably ''WAEC'' Cert since WAEC is taking Over NECO staffs and facilities across the federation or else, Igboro ma daru ooo.......!!!! Ok now !!!

eldoradoxx: Are you saying that the Universities are not better placed to set a high quality and standard exams for prospective students wishing to join the school ? Like I wrote earlier, when Prof Chinedu Nebo initiated post ume exam then in UNN which later spread like wildfire little did he know he was about exposing the ills in JAMB UME. I was in university before the post ume was introduced. What I observed from my class had been said earlier. Classmates whom UME awarded huge marks to make them get admission easily (First List or Merit List) were same people who couldn't cope with academic works. In my class alone between 100 to 500 level more than 100 of them were withdrawn from the faculty. When post ume came, people with Jamb score of 300 and above mere scoring lower than people with 200 and below! Why? Your guess is as good as mine. There are many rural communities in Nigeria that both Waec and Jamb exams don't really take place. From the supervisors to invigilators, everybody is compromised. It is pay as. Want to cheat. So scrapping of Jamb is long over due.

searay: When wil EFCC be scrap?

Unimke_Ak: [size=15pt]So what's going to be the fate of university graduates with NECO results??[/size]

chiover: All the people with Neco results should go and register for WAEC as Neco certificates would no longer be regarded

snakova:
why not make prof nebo the head of jamb so dat he can sanitise the system? my inlaw lost admission cos of post ume corruption. at least salim in 1999 solved the cheating problem. make the system work,then improve on it. most of the universities see post ume as a money making venture. this move wud only make it worse.

Dubemkelly: Serzly, to me Post utme is quite encouraging, it has separated men 4rm boys, if nt 4 post utme, I wonder wats gonna b d fate of sum intelligent stdnts....JAMB has failed us in d conduct of her exam n exam malpractice is now d order of d day, stdnts pay invigilators or go via MIRACLE CENTRES n @d end of d day dey score very high after wch dey fumble wen called 2 defend der scores....Wit d institution of Post UTME, d chaffs r being separated 4rm d grains n only d deserved stdnts mk it 2 d merit list, d slot thing dere aint a barrier,its jux an incentives 2 staff members

D answer to ur question isn't far fetch.this is an illustration,there was once a lion bank in ds country and when diamond bank acquired it,all their staff and their customers automatically became Diamond bank staff and customers.If u'r holding a Neco result and Waec is in charge of Neco with this new policy,It simply means u have WAEC result,to scrap an organization to be overseen by another doesn't make d scrapped org. Lost its value.so relax.

maasoap: I'm totally against this development. Some countries that are not as big as Nigeria have up to 8 different external exam bodies. They should have added another body but not scrapped NECO. Stopping JAMB from conducting exam will also greatly affect admission based on merit thereby has potential of making admission difficult for children from poor home. Admission will now go to the highest bidders.

goldfish80: This effectively makes Neco certificate worthless. I pity Neco cert holders


Scrapping Utme is long overdue,Universities should conduct their various intake exams. Its simply cruel to kids getting to take two major exams to gain admission into tertiary institutions(when you add wace and Neco,makes it four). Welcome development!!!

genxris: I think scrapping UTME will make addmission into tertiary institutions to become more difficult for the poor because the rich and highly connected will be considered first in offering admission and the exam fees for different schools will not be the same. Imagine where an applicant decides to write admision test of upto 4schools.
