Adewole said:”23,200 candidates scored above 200 in UTME, 20,800 applied for the post UTME in our institution and only 19,268 took the screening and examination. Our new method of admitting students with the O’levels and UTME result has really reduced students from withdrawing at the first year due to poor performances. “The performance of the five best candidates that were given automatic scholarship from this institution will b monitored and they may be retained after their studies here” he said. Adewole warned members of the public not to influence the institutions admission officials for admission into the institution.” The UI VC also admonished parents and guardians not to force courses of their choice on the children and wards but should allow them to study courses that they have the ability to cope with.
