News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reported that the University of Lagos,UNILAG, earlier today revealed they will go ahead with screening of candidates for the 2016/2017 academic session despite JAMB withdrawal of admission list.
Deputy Registrar, (Information), Mr Toyin Adebule, confirmed the screening will be held on August 3rd -24th 2016. Candidates who score above above and choose the institution as their first choice are qualified.
“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 Aug. 3, 2016 to Aug. 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“It is this same list that it had withdrawn to allow the universities carry out their admission process as required by the law setting up their senates.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,’’ he confirmed.
