A son who was placed on national merit
A son who pick Kings College as first and second choice was admitted to Federal Government in Kogi State

I was really surprised with this scenario, he was not even posted to any federal Government college in southwest
i quite understand they are trying to fill space for the northerners who has not really shown interest in education

how can a boy of 11years old travel from Lagos to Kogi State all in the name of Unity sch

Please i want to ask if there is any steps/process involve in changing the sch



Thank you

Making the National merit does not mean that you will be admitted to KC automatically. If there are people that scored above your child from your state, those will get priority. Look at this national merit like the cut-off that qualifies somebody for post-UTME normally set by JAMB. Getting a national post-UTME score of 180 set by JAMB does not guarantee admission into your University of choice. You still have to go and battle others that score 180 and above.

The National merit cut-off is to ensure that if a child does not gain admission into his/her Unity school of first and second choice, the Ministry of Education will consider the child in any Unity school that has vacancies. The mistake you made was choosing KC as First and Second choices. If you had chosen FGC Odogbolu or FGC Ijanikin, the child would have been considered.

If a child cannot make KC with first choice, then forget KC as second choice. It is like somebody choosing Medicine in either UI, OAU, Unilag, Uniben as First and Second choices and then wonders why he/she is not given admission based on Second Choice.

There are competitive Unity schools just as there competitive Universities and courses.

So there is nothing to lament. It is the process.

please what is the process of changing the sch

Thanks

My child has the same issue. she was posted to FSTC OGUGU, I went to the school of Choice(FGC Enugu) and was told to calm down till the merit list(60%) is out. That I can get her admission through 30% or 10%. It may take "project money* as they call it.
