The trend which is a permanent fixture in Nigeria, in which Northern states are allotted very low cut-off marks for entrance into Federal Unity Colleges, while those in the South are allotted higher cut-off marks is still in place and continues
This is a 2013 report as the Federal Ministry of Education’s documents on the cut-off marks for the various states reveals.

Whereas, a pupil from Anambra irrespective of gender is expected to score at least 139 to gain admission into the schools, a male pupil from Yobe and a female from Zamfara is required to score only 2.

Students who score above the cut-off are automatically eligible for admission on merit.

The Education ministry advised parents to check the results of their wards which have been posted on notice board of all Unity Colleges throughout the Federation.

Below is the full list of the cut-off marks for all 36 states of the federation, as well as the FCT.

Very possible.

It is a government subsidized unity school system, not a merit based system.

Let Anambra fill up its allotted quota with 139, while Yobe fills up its own allotted quota too with 2. No state will deprive the other of its own quota.

Very fair and just where merit is not the primary consideration but the intended unity for which such schools were established.

it's better than setting a very high standard which they won't meet, hence, constituting social nuisance and insecurity to we the educated. imagine what would have been the case with boko haram if the northerners don't go to sch at al. They needs to be forced, enticed, wooed and every other mean available just to put them in school.

its not better in any way. Nigeria's educational system is not up there and the best thing to do is worsen it? This country is in a mess because of the leadership of the North and the country won't get better when you throw merit through the window just to appease a group of people who do not value education? One reason the North made Noise from the beginning of GEJs tenure was because if things were done right, it won't favour them.........okay let's check the history of leadership........Nnamdi azikiwe had a PHD while tafawa balewa was an ordinary school teacher......when Awolowo who was extremely qualified contested, another school teacher was brought to head the government with someone who was more qualified than he was Dr alex ekwueme.......fast forward to 1994, even if am not a fan of abiola,he was killed because of what he had to offer and we had better candidates too.......1999, alex ekwueme was there with plenty qualifications and he was substituted for obj just to pacify the west.........we are going around in circles.....if after 40 years of rulling and the North cannot be educated, then we are in serious trouble.......I am a firm believer in education and its impact on the society, giving them a cut off mark that low is bvlshit.....

you have to weigh the merit and demerits, I was once victim of the quota system on admission policy into unity school but never understood it then because I was too young. Do you know what the implication would have been if they are not learned as we are, an emir could rise up one to declare war and there would be no dissenting voice of caution amongst them. we now have muslim cleric in their midst condemning extremism. The few that are admitted base on this quota system are doing well at the long run. If all our security personnel, judges, policy makers etc, are from one part of the country, do you think they will happily accept posting to parts that have no representations. Nigeria is not yet ripe to be compared with the west pls, Africa problems require Africa solution, we all have different values which mostly influenced our decision or opinion.

I see. African problems require African solution. So my dear, how do you react to the recent lopsided appointments by GMB. Is it still an African solution? On one scale quota system is good, but on another scale, when it fails to favour some people, it's not good. Only God will judge some people for their level of hypocrisy.

I never raised my voice against it, I have my issues with some of his decisions, including the 100days denial, am in support of pmb but not in support of the appointments. I believed he might have chose them for the right reasons but it was a wrong political move, he could have delayed the appointments and announced it when he has positions to be occupied by others thus creating a balance view of it.

NB. Am not a fan of juicy or non juicy position. Just perform in your field, then all will be right for us.

Same way Buhari became a general with F9 in Maths, A1 in Arabics and IRS, Pass in Economics whereas his colleagues from the south were expected to hold a PH.D Engineering in a school at England before they can be considered for promotions or a higher rank.

20 years from now this same ones who gained admission with a cut off mark of 2 will be appointed Minister for Finance under one ab0ki, while those of us expected to have higher marks will be somewhere shouting "sai baba"
How can Nigeria move forward?

The word "as far as they can work" only come from yorubas who are experts in supporting mediocrity. That Nigeria is a mess today is because of the yorobers support of northern mediocrity. They know that if things are done on merit in Nigeria, they will come only second to Igbos, so better for them that merit is thrown to the dogs since they can never dominate any sector that merit is allowed to rule.

So because of their stupidness, backwards and mediocrity, my people's development will be arrested? May i ask, for how long are we Igbos going to allow our development to be arrested because of some useless quota system created not by us, but by others in this useless union just to accomodate people that we are not even related to? What about letting all the separate countries inside Nigeria go their separate ways and each try to develop at their own pace? Must we live together in one useless country while some parts of it are holding the development of others to ransome because of their illiteracy?

You are iddiot for supporting mediocrity. "Just perform in your field" with 2 and 3 as the cut off point you ride through to coming into your assigned office? When have you known northerners as performers? Foe how long did they rule this country in the past without any tangible progress to point at? All of a sudden, they will now under Buhari turn Nigeria into Europe with your stupid "Just perform in your field". It is the hypocricy of you yorubers that have kept Nigeria backwards for this long.

have never insulted a race or tribe as a result of the foolishness of few, and I will never stoop so low to tow their foolish reasoning. If in your wisdom, you think a decision or system is wrong, use such wisdom to promote a candidate among the existing political parties we have, when he gets there, he can apply the system you want. Go to Niger, Ogun, Adamawa, Kastina and any other states which we have an ex HoS then check if they are the best of the 36states.
