This is very unfair except if ABU has some other meaningful reason which I can't think of now. Perhaps she should do change of institution and try another university.

That's to avoid victimisation if she gets into ABU.

adedayourt:
Maybe her waec no qualify her

themonk:
The question is what happened and why she was denied admission. She has a very high score. You cannot tell me that everyone that got admission into that course had above 302, NOT POSSIBLE!

Most times we keep shouting injustice because we want to trend and forget to ask for the full story. Let us ask what happened first, was it ethincity motivated or because she is female or what? Then we know where to head from there.

I'm saying this because I don't see any special reason the school will deny her admission.

302 is not enough for medicine in unn its 310 ...she can't say a whole ABU would cut 250 for med surgery thats a big lie

First of all, I am not really convinced by this post. The Post seems not to have true information concerning the whole matter. There can never be a school in Nigeria that will have 250 as the cut off for the medicine and surgery at this present age. You can quote me anywhere. Especially at this age where there is a high rampage of astonishing jamb scored.
In my school UNN, the cut off marks are not really disclosed to the public. I sometimes laugh when some peoole go online to check previous and old information on net to Compare with their current admission status. I don't believe that any school will cut 250 as Merit cut off marks for medicine.
Last year, the cut off Mark for medicine was 327. UNN medicine aspirants can testify. Alot of people with high scores as high as 321,320 were not given admission. So before you come to bring about an information and rant, confirm your data.

Northern Nigeria thrives on mediocrity, see the kind of president they gave us, someone who never address Nigerians or Nigerian press directly what we are always hearing is this.
The president was ATTRIBUTED saying that no no haram has been defeated
As narrated by Garba shehu he said Mr president when he was about going to his private quarters made this statement
As was narrated by Lai Muhammad the president said that the boko haram sect has been technically defeated he was in London when he made the statement
As was narrated by Demi Adeshina the president was sitting down and was watching the super eagles match when he said that and I quote" insha Allah boko wil
l be defeated
As narrated by Lorita onochie, it was when members of ohaneze came to see him with some Palm wine in daura that he said boko harms was collaborating with IPOB to destabilize the country but they are on their way to be defeated, he was on his palour
And this statement was made same day, our president is a DEITY

Sirjamo:
This thing is prevalent in every region of this country, I have not seen or heard of any Mohammed or Usman or Adewale that graduate from UNN or any other university in SE or SS. North and SW are even better in this regards. I expect barrage of insults on this but the truth is the truth, it has no any other name!!!!

Emmaxy9:


Oga read what I wrote. UNN doesn't disclose their cut off marks publicly. If you see the real one, its either bloggers who are inside or people who really know the stuff.

Dear Prof Garba This Should Not Happen In ABU Zaria

It was Martin Luther King Jr who said that “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.'' it was on the premise of this that I decided to open this thread when I stumbled on a post by my journalist friend and brother George Onmonya .

I was Pained by the details of the post and decided to draw the attention of JAMB and Prof Ibrahim Garba the current Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria an astute administrator in who I strongly believe will act in the Spirit of justice equity and fairness.

I Have decided to reproduce the facebook post George Verbatim in order not to dilute it's content

It is unimaginable that in this age someone with English , Mathmatics , Chemistry, Biology and scored one of the highest scores in recent times in both JAMB and the Post UTME will end with a course she never when those who scored half of what she scored will end up as medical students.

To deny this girl this admission is to cement the the wrongly held notion that the ABU of today no longer values merit . Using religious quota under any guise is a sacrilage that no Nigerian Muslim or Christian should be subjected to.

Those charged with the responsibility of correcting this error should remember that the tenor of human positions no matter how highly exhalted will one day come to an end only Gods tenure is eternal.

Where is ASUU president, he will be promoting university autonomy full of corrupt academics , let him intervene to see that justice is granted to a poor girl, on the other hand the girl should forget ABU, nobody recognises the school in the comity of universities

OVIHINNO:
I don't really understand why God sent me to this Shithole Country. I honestly would have chosen Niger Republic or Chad

You haven't Seen anything yet.
Cutoff Mark for Medicine is around 326..
310 cannot Give anyone Medicine in UNN Except the person is From ELD.

A Little More Light
My attention was drawn, by a very good friend, to the story making the rounds, that a certain Goodness Thomas was denied admission by the ABU to read for the degree of MBBS despite scoring 302 in the last UTME.
I made some inquiries about the matter and wish to share my findings with you dear friends.
However, before I do so, let us understand a thing or two about University admission process.
The minimum requirements for University admissions is credit pass in at least 5 subjects including English and Mathematics. This being the minimum requirements does not suggest that a student with distinctions in 6 subjects including English and Mathematics must be admitted.
There are other requirements, and circumstances, that guide the admission process apart from meeting the minimum requirements eg the attainments and performances of other candidates.
Now let's take a look at the case of Goodness Thomas.
She scored 302 in the UTME exams, and 274 in the Post UTME. Thus having an average of 288 out of a maximum of 400 points.
The Ahmadu Bello University has as its catchment area the entire 19 States of Northern Nigeria, being an indigene of Kogi State she belongs to the fold.
However, in the last UTME, more than 20 Kogi State indigenes that applied to ABU for MBBS had scores of 320 or more.
So what do you suggest the University should do? Jump over all those other candidates that had higher scores from her State to give her admission? Admit her alongside all those that scored higher than her in the examination from the same state with her?
The University offered her admission for BSc Human Anatomy.
Remember there is a very low limit to the number of students that can be admitted for MBBS; it is the most competitive programme of study in Nigerian universities.
Which University can afford to give admission to all those that crossed the minimum requirements line?
The Ahmadu Bello University is, I stand to be corrected, the only truly national University in Nigeria today, going by the geographical spread of its staff and students. As our former Vice Chancellor, the late Professor Adamu Nayaya Muhammed of blessed memory was fond of saying "there is no local government area in Nigeria that is not represented in ABU”
This is just an attempt to throw a little more light on the issue. It is not in anyway 'speaking' for the University.

Her age is the barrier. Not because she wasn’t brilliant enough. It’s normal with Nigerian higher institutions

Ekpeitut:
Such a brilliant girl. If you think scoring 6 A1s is beans, show us your WAEC and NECO results.

She should just scout for scholarships in the UK, US she will definitely get something.
