‘UNILORIN to admit 11,000 out of 103,238 applicants’



The Vice Chancellor of University of Ilorin, Prof. Abdulganiyu Ambali has disclosed that the University can only admit 11,000 out of 103,238 applicants.


Ambali said this on Monday in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, during Unilorin’s 32nd convocation media briefing.

The VC said 67 of 6,069 first degree graduands bagged first class.

He added that 1,505 made second class upper division, 3,200, second class lower; 1,124, third class while 70 got pass.

Ambali said, “We received a letter to the effect that the Nigerian Army highest hierarchy has approved a collaborative programme leading to the award of a Master of Arts Degree in Peace and Security Studies with Unilorin, through its Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies.

“Through this programme, senior officers of the Nigerian Army will be trained at Unilorin. With this, the university is poised to impact more and contribute further to the Nigerian project,” the Professor said.

Ambali, who is also the Chairman of the Association of West African Universities, also said it was unsavoury that no Nigerian university was ranked in the first 100 of the global university ranking.
