The University of Lagos on Monday said it will go ahead with the screening of prospective candidates for admission into the 2016/2017 academic session as scheduled.
Toyin Adebule, the institution’s deputy registrar, (information), said this in an interview.
His talk was regarding the list of candidates considered for admission which was withdrawn by JAMB.
A quote from his interview reads:
“We want to inform the public that our screening, for candidates that will be admitted for the 2016/17 academic session, will still hold scheduled from August 3, 2016 to August 24, 2016,”.
“It is true that JAMB had sent a list to us, which it had considered as those who met our cut-off point.
“It is this same list that it had withdrawn to allow the universities carry out their admission process as required by the law setting up their senates.
“There are statutory functions meant for all university senates, among which admissions is part one.
“It is only after selecting the candidates for admission that the senate refers the list to JAMB for confirmation in line with the admission criteria of merit, catchment and educationally disadvantaged states.
“And so, it is only proper for JAMB to have taken this step, realising that it had taken over the job of the universities’ senates.’’
Students who have junior siblings trying to gain admission feel relieved about this development. The campus is currently flooded with prospective students and one can actually tell, due to their "Johnny just come" outward appearance.
