Scrap of NECO, UTME is rumour, Wike says





The reported scrap of the National Examinations Council and restructuring of the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) are speculations because no whitepaper on the Stephen Orasanye’s report has been released, Minister of state for education Barrister Nyesom Wike has said.
Whereas the Minister of education Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i said on Thursday she was yet to be informed of any whitepaper, her counterpart Wike who spoke at the weekend in Abuja gave a definite response that the whitepaper was “yet to be released and considered by federal government.”
 He said when the whitepaper is eventually released, “it will be dispassionately considered by the federal government and a position that would promote the education sector will be taken.”
