The University of Ibadan has offered
scholarship to the six candidates that scored 88 per
cent and above in its Post-UME test.
The vice-chancellor of the university, Prof. Isaac
Adewole, stated this at a news conference
held on Friday in Ibadan to announce the result of the examination which was conducted on Saturday.
“The best candidate, Animashaun Oluwakayode
Daniel, scored 90 per cent, while five candidates –
Ajari Esther, Oteri Efeturi, Ojo Oluwadamilare,
Omitoyin Oluwafemi and Aremu Oluwadamilola –
scored 88 per cent.
“The scholarship will cover their accommodation.
These are bright candidates so we do not expect
them to fail.
“We want to assure these students that UI will offer
them the best facilities that can be found in Nigeria.
He said that of the 8,844 candidates who registered
for the Post-UME test, 6,257 scored 50 and above
while 236 did not turn up for the examination.
“If a candidate fails to score 50, he or she is not going to be considered for admission. So, 2,351 candidates failed the examination.’’
The vice-chancellor stressed that the university is
concerned about the integrity of its Post-UME test.
“The male to female ratio is 45 to 55; UI admitted
more females than males in recent time.’’
The vice-chancellor urged the Federal Government to introduce strategies that would encourage students to study agriculture.
“Government at all levels as well as parents and
guardians must encourage students to study
agriculture and education courses in the overall
interest of the nation,’’ he said.
“You see the majority of parents come to say their
sons and daughters want to read medicine, law and
all that.’’
According to him, hardly do parents say their sons
and daughters want to study agriculture or
education.
Adewole explained that the trend could be
counterproductive, saying all sectors should be given equal attention.

Good move....

This is good encouragement

How will they read agriculture when the agricultural and educational sector in the country is in a 'sorry' state. No one is proud to be identified as a farmer or teacher, we're all busy with oil money. Those parent pushing their wards to medical fields should begin to think twice now oh following the fate of resident doctors in 9ja

k

Shey na agriculture him too study?or H̴̩̩̩̥øw many Ơ̴̴̴͡f his pikin study agric?somepeople will just b like sign board.dz way †o success,and d̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣y would remain in one place..

I was here.....

Good move...wish they continue the brilliance they showed during the exam when admitted...cus that exam is'nt the ultimate

The male female ratio is really something to worry abt, i checked unilag MBBS list with a friend dis morning and i noticed the female ratio was more than d males'.
