The Vice Chancellor, University of Ilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, has said the institution admitted only 8,587 out of 103,211 candidates that applied to the university for admission for the current session.
He stated that 26,442 of the candidates met the minimum requirement of 180 scores in the Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
He added that 16,123 of the candidates passed the institution’s Post-UTME.
The VC spoke at the institution’s matriculation in Ilorin on Friday.
He lamented the limited admission space in the school.
Ambali also said the institution would expel any of its students found to be engaged in cult activities.
Warning the students against indulging or involvement in cult-related activities, he stated that the varsity had a zero tolerance for cultism.
He also cautioned the students against indecent dressing.
Ambali said, “The university has its rules and regulations. This university, which many of you (the matriculating students) have heard so much about before your admission, has zero tolerance for indiscipline as the University is passionately committed to taking your generation to greater heights. You are the future of Nigeria and Nigeria of the future is you.
“The discipline we exhibit here makes this university unique. For instance, there is no cultism or other illegal associations here and we shall not allow it.
“As education essentially is a process of cultural transmission and renewal, the university has a dress code which essentially involves decent dressing.” Source: PUNCH Newspaper
