Also, Mr. Adamu Adamu (the Minister of Education) announced a cancellation of the Post-UTME examination prohibition. He claimed that post-UTME prohibition led a lot of candidates and some tertiary institution to violate the rules.

Since the ban has been canceled, candidates now need to take an exam before admission. The fee for the exam should not be over 2000 Naira. Mr. Adamu Adamu also believed that a high percentage of candidates who participated in the 2017 UTME will get the chance to enter tertiary education institutions in Nigeria this academic year.
