The special adviser to the President on media
and publicity, Femi Adesina, has revealed that
the decision by the government to scrap post-
UTME was informed by the need to make
admission into tertiary institutions less
cumbersome.
Adeshina disclosed this on Monday at Effurun,
Delta State when he bagged an award from the
students of Four Square Gospel Fellowship of
Federal University of Petroleum Resources,
(FUPRE).
The Special Adviser, who was represented by
Mr Emmanuel Ogoigbe, thanked the students
for considering him for the award. He,
however, urged the students to take their
studies seriously since that was the only way
they can become useful to themselves and the
society.
He said: ”I wish to express my profound
gratitude for considering me for this award. It
is indeed a worthwhile honour. As you all
know the nation is going through a process
championed by President Mohammadu Buhari,
whose tireless effort to redeem Nigerians from
the shackles of oppression, corruption and all
forms of criminality should be encouraged by
all Nigerians.”
