Prof. Sulyman Abdulkareem, Vice
Chancellor of the University of Ilorin
(UNILORIN) has said that about 12,000
admission applicants into the university
will be admitted for the 2019/2020
academic session of the institution.
The Vice Chancellor of the institution
made this known to newsmen while
speaking at the annual breaking of fast
(Iftar) over the weekend.
The VC said the institution has
commenced lobbying of the National
Universities Commission (NUC) for an
increase in the subsisting quuta of 10,900
allocated to the university.
Prof. Abdulkareem, who said that the
move was to accommodate a massive
number of admission seekers, added that
the university had become one of the
most subscibed tertiary institutions in the
country.
He also explained that his goal was to
have limitless admission quota if not for
NUC and the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) regulatory
activities, adding that the allocation of
admission quota was dependent on
carrying capacity and facilities on each
campus of the universities.
Abdulkareem said the main challenge
facing his administration was provision of
enough classrooms due to increased
number of students on campus. He said
the university had provided gadgets in
the lecture theatres to cope with the
situation.
