Below is my simple and humble reaction to the noise about the list sent to institutions. I will only say:
"Father forgive them, for they know not what they are saying" for now.
We are actually helping the candidates not only to get admission but to get it on time.
The big universities are overloaded. Can you imagine 8,000 students seeking for admission to study law in a university that will take only 250 candidates for law!. The remaining 7750 candidates will wait endlessly and hopelessly till the end of the admission.
Or imagine 7500 candidates seeking for medicine in a university. Of these 7500 candidates, 2000 scored above 250 in the UTME. The university has a carrying capacity of only 150 candidates for medicine. The remaining 7350 who scored above 200 will be wasted. Particularly, 1750 candidates who scored above 250 will be wasted while other universities either do not have enough candidates or high scoring candidates.
Courses like Biological Sciences, Agric Engineering and related courses are lacking in candidacy!
We are saying, let's give them a feel of chance somewhere else that has not gotten enough candidates by sending the names of these HIGH scorers to "needy" universities.
The names of such surplus candidates are being distributed to first Federal institutions, then State and finally Private institutions in that order depending on:
Availability of space in other universities,
Choice of the course of the candidate,
The geographical Zone of the choice of the candidate, and
Performance of the candidate.
By this approach, wastage of HIGH scores will be reduced, the fate of the candidates will be determined on time and yet the interest of their areas of study may be satisfied.
In addition, the concept of selection by
• Merit,
• Catchment Area, and
• Educationally Less Developed States
• Will be adequately catered for.
However, I am not saying that everyone will get admission or even get their original choice of course of study. But it is better than wasting the time, finances, and good scores of these candidates. We need to fill the available spaces as given to us by the regulatory bodies like NUC, NBTE, and NCCE.
If, however, a candidate does not want the given opportunity, it is too "baaaad".

This scenario was made clear to the institutions during the Policy meeting that took place on 14th July this year in Abuja.
Before the Policy meeting, we had discussions with the representatives of the Federal, State, and Private universities where the degree of the problems of candidates were presented and solutions were proffered. These decisions were backed up by copious statistics of applications to various universities.
Again “Father forgive them, for they know not what they are saying"
I believe that some so- called educational consultants have some hidden agenda which are being thwarted by our proactive steps. Let them know that this is a period of CHANGE. If they do not CHANGE they will be CHANGED.

Who send you

This man wants to be introducing new policies every year....if a new registra steps in...he'll scrap all these useless policies...

INTROVERT247: Who send you

God sent him

Yea i seconded this policy on the premise of checking corruption in higher institutions of nowadays as to giving admission to the well deserved candidates and not by proxy. And by also giving candidates with high scores a level playing ground not to waste all resources put towards gaining admission cos if that persists, so many human resources to build this country would be somewhere frustrated,destrupted by the bogginess of our education system hence, brings subjugation.

you people can just sit somewhere and discuss candidates fate without consulting them first
by the why didn't you guys make the process public so candidates can know that it is not bias

The motive is quite good.....why waste admission chance year after year on schools that has applicant overload when one's luck can pay out in schools that offer the same course....good move
