The vice chancellor of University Of Ibadan (UI), Prof Idowu Olayinka while speaking on the topic "The challenges of building a world class university" during the 68th Interdisciplinary Research Discourse of the Postgraduate school made it known that the university will admit only 3,000 students out of up to 29,000 candidates that chose the school and scored up to 200 in the 2016 JAMB examination.


He lamented that poor funding, infrastructure deficit, student-lecturer ratio and limitation of Hostel accommodation would not allow the University go beyond its present carrying capacity.

He called on the Nigerian Government to adequately fund universities and fix the infrastructural deficits if it wants her universities to be globally competitive.

This is really going to be tough on UI aspirants
