The latest news reaching us has it that A university Don, Prof. John Okpako Enaowho has called for the scrapping
of the National University Commission (NUC) and Joint Admission
Matriculation Board JAMB in order to avoid what he described as
retrogression in education in Nigeria.
This was made known during a 2-day education summit held in delta state.
He swiftly condemned the centralization powers of NUC and asserted that the scrapping of JAMB will give universities the opportunity to admit as many students as
possible and be able to generate enough fund to operate independently.
We gathered that he made reference to the United States of America which has 8 of the best 10 universities in the world. These universities according to him, are giving free hands to operate. He added that education should be removed from the shoulders of the Federal Government as it has huge responsibilities.
