The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin,
Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali (OON), has said that the University introduced some
new academic programmes as a way of increasing the access of Nigerian youths to
quality education.More information after the CUT!!
Prof. Ambali, who made this known last Monday
(March 23, 2015) while receiving the members of a National Universities
Commission (NUC) Resource Verification Team to the proposed Departments of Food
Engineering and Computer Science Education, said, “The expansion of our
programmes is to accommodate more candidates and to allow more admission
seekers access to education”. He added that it is very important to ensure that
the Nigerian youths are adequately educated.
Pointing out that Unilorin has been the most
sought after University by admission seekers in the last couple of years, the
Vice-Chancellor explained that over 107,000 candidates have already applied to
study in the University for the forthcoming 2015/2016 academic session.
Prof. Ambali, however, lamented that because of
the limitation placed on it by the admission quota allocation by the National
Universities Commission (NUC), the University would be able to admit only about
12,000 of the applicants.
The Vice-Chancellor commended the NUC for its good
work, and the Resource Verification Team for a job well-done. He assured the
Commission that the University would key in to its Benchmark for Academic
Standards (BMAS).
Earlier in her address, the Coordinator of the NUC
Verification Team, Dr. (Mrs.) M. B. Adeniran, said that the team was in the
University in response to the University’s application to commence the Food
Engineering and Computer Science Education programmes.
The verification team later presented its report
to the Vice-Chancellor. Other members of the team included Prof. John O Igene,
Prof. S. B. Junaidu and Prof. T. O. Omobuwajo.
