Scrapping Jamb and Neco.

I have taken time in reacting to the federal government plan to scrap these exam from the nations educational calender this is with a view to sample opinions as to the credibility of such an exercise. While a section of the academia is routing for it others seem quite opposed to the idea. One of the that will help in taking a position is the purpose of establishing such bodies as against the government reason. I believe for setting Neco was to attend to the growing of candidates sitting for WAEC and SSCE and to reduce the burden on Waec. The question is has this purpose been defeated or achieved? Jamb was meant for admission into nigerian universities? Has it outlived its usefulness? The government position is centered of reducing its size. The question is will it make such a difference if they are scrapped? Well, my advice is that any action taken should not been borne out selfish interest but rather for the general good. Lets be wise as we dont want to deal with issues of policy somersalt.
