the cut-off marks. The admission method
is currently automatic with direct involvement of
the registrar of vertical for
final approval. we've in agreement to regularize admissions
that were done underneath the
table this year. From next year we are
going to not settle for something like that.” But, speaking
with newsmen in metropolis,
Chairman ASUU, University of metropolis,
Dr Deji Omole delineated the new
cut-off marks as a tragic policy
call for the long run of Nigeria.
in line with Omole, instead of enabling the known
universities UN agency admitted
over seventeen,000 students lawlessly, the vertical registrar merely
regularized unlawfulness and lowered cut-off marks to favour the
interests of the buddies of state UN agency own non-public
universities and ar hell out to destroying public education. whereas job for the scrapping of vertical,
Omole aforementioned students ought to apply on to universities of their selection for admission.
The ASUU boss aforementioned; “Where ar
people who vertical registrar said entered universities
black-marketly? that universities admitted them? If thirty p.c didn't take vertical and located their manner
into the university system is that not corruption and a message that vertical isn't vital any
more? What sanction did people who
did the illegal issue receive aside from regularization of unlawfulness. we tend to ar observation as a result of long prior
to now we've aforementioned that vertical has outlived its quality. Let the schools set their distinctive
standards and people UN agency ar qualified will are available in. “Even in those days forty p.c was ranked as
fail. however currently vertical aforementioned
with F9, that is evaluation thirty p.c, you'll be able to be admitted. They
deliberately need to destroy
education. Even for polytechnic
institute one hundred
marks is twenty five p.c. It is sad. which is wherever we tend to
ar in Nigeria. they need
to destroy public education in any
respect price. this is often not setting customary for education in Nigeria. it's strictly lowering
standards and dig the grave for the long run. this is often why ASUU is presently

Yet, we tend to complain of poor quality of our graduates. you'll be able to hardly build one thing on nothing. The consolation here is that since vertical started conducting this qualifying examination in 1978, UI has ne'er admitted any candidate UN agency scored but two hundred marks out of the most four hundred marks. This interprets to a minimum of fifty p.c. This remains our position as an establishment intending to be world category. Reality is that solely concerning four alternative universities within the country have such high customary. to it extent, except for being the oldest, we tend to ar associate elite university within the country a minimum of judgement by the standard of our intakes.
As powerfully canvassed by North American nation at each chance, for UI, the necessity to admit the simplest admission seekers is that the primary motivation for post UTME, and not cash, even supposing we tend to don't faux that you just will run any university therefore properly while not funds.
In a motley crowd of federal, state and personal universities, polytechnics, faculties of education and innovation centres, standards and expectations dissent.

He said, “it may be a ridiculous decision; pass mark for examinations within the universities isn't but forty p.c, what's the motive for reducing the bring to an end marks? what's one hundred twenty to four hundred, that's terribly low, what's the objective? Is it to reinforce access, if you would like the establishments to require such a big amount of students, have you ever created facilities out there and injected a lot of funds into the sector? i believe government is more killing the system.”
