This exemplifies why Nigeria is still at the state it is. Merit are thrown to the back seat cos of quota system. Don't be surprised someone that barely scored 200 made it to the admission list.

U wey knw..Abeg no mind this useless country

Honestly *the person who wrote this piece “Injustice to one is injustice to all” is completely ignorant of the process of admission in Ahmadu Bello University Zaria,*

For those of us that wrote Jamb 3 times passed all and failed to secure admission whom also are from the catchment area of the University felt the same way but later got to understand the process & how it works!

There are some unique facts about ABU that we must appreciate which includes among so many others; ABU is the most cosmopolitan University in the whole of Africa not even Nigeria �� it’s no news that ABU Zr has students from each and every of the 774 local governments in �� which makes it a mini ��.

When it comes to teaching staff, ABU is the only record holder of having atleast 1 senior staff from each and every of the 36 states in Nigeria and it has remained so till date. So in essence not even the University of Abuja that is in the heart of Nigeria can boast of having students from all the 774 local governments or a staff from each of the 36 states in the Country. Then we should be proud of ABU Zr.

I can personally attest to the fact that in each and every Departmental admission guideline clearly spells out three criteria’s and is religiously adhered to which includes: 1. Merrit list 45% of the total students admitted to the dept (Atleast 2 to 3 students with the highest score from each state). 2. Catchment area list 35% (like any other university in Nigeria ABU considers students from its selected States as it catchment area). & 3. Less Educationally developed states list 20% (in other to give candidates in some selected states that are not as educationally developed as the others a chance to be in ABU as they are at a disadvantage and cannot stand their colleagues from the opposite side) which makes 100% for each department and in doing this no state is left out. Please tell me which other University in Nigeria can say same of their institution? I’ll tell U the answer for free “NONE”.

As regards the case of one *Goodness Thomas, she would have made it for the MBBS Merit list from her state but unfortunately she was number 7 on the list in terms of jamb score from Niger state* and only the first two were picked as it is in d case with all other 36 states and the FCT, she also wouldn’t have made it for the 2nd & 3rd criteria for admission as the number from the Medical and Dental Board limits ABU MBBS to only 120students per session so please do the maths how would U have admitted Goodness into MBBS and justify it even if U are on the admissions committee?

It is also important that I call the attention of the writer of this mischievous piece, that Goodness Thomas was quick to change her 1st choice to ‘Anatomy’ from MBBS seeing she didn’t make the 1st list and she was admitted in the 2nd list of admission which she accepted gladly and quickly, so why are people been mischievous and sharing very wrong information on social media?

I have seen the list of about 25 candidates this year alone from Kwara, Benue and Kogi states who scored above 300 and didn’t make the list for MBBS but unfortunately their representatives don’t have social media handles to speak out on their behalf.

This year alone ABU received more than 40,000 qualified candidates which is the largest number of applicants for any university in Nigeria and Jamb gave ABU the clearance to take in 11,000 candidates which is also the highest number any university is taking in this year, so who will speak for the over 29,000 qualified candidates? Even ASUU is crying that accademic staff are over stretched due to the number of lecturer to student at the moment.

As it stands, ABU is among the 1st generation of universities in Nigeria and there has been plans from the management under the leadership of Prof. Ibrahim Garba with support from the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) and the Ministry of Education for ABU Zr to Migrate into a fully pledged Post-Graduate University and that can only happen if the number of undergraduates intake is cut by more than half the number its currently taking in.

So please let’s call all mischief makers to order and if anyone has any issue on admission of a candidate to write to the University rather than embarking on campaign of calmuny on social media to dent the reputation of a University we all hold Dear.

The question should be

Why should merit be sacrificed on the altar of mediocrity

I'm very sure she would have scored higher than many others who gained the admission but entered becAuse the cut off for their state was far lower

We can t continue to do things this way

Still the nonsense quota .

UNILAG also have quota for 45% merit, 35% catchment and 20% ELDS, not only ABU ...Also, UNILORIN has the highest number of applicants each year ..so no hype one ABU for us

Catchment is working in education sector but why not allow it to work in resources control? Each state should look for ways to generate revenue and keep 80% of revenue for itself and send 20% of it to federal.

Pes13:
I laughed when I saw that news.

302/400 and he was shouting foul play. Maybe he thought Mbbs is equally sorted after like Education Management.

I am a medical student in UI, UI doesn't have catchment area, 100% admission slot is by merit.

However, there are almost 400 candidates that score 300+ in utme every year, and the carrying capacity for Mbbs in UI is just 180.

That means, several candidates with 320+ won't end up getting Mbbs in the end, by the time aggregate score is determined.

There is no foul play in this matter, only ignorant people who is not in the system will type such gibberish.

Can you please tell us your utme aggregate? As much as I knw, 302 is more that enough for medicine

MoIbrahim:
Educationally Less Privilege States (ELPS):

If you come from any of these states and you passed your JAMB. Your chances of gaining admission is 65% (45% Merit + 20% ELPS). All things being equal.

These are states in which they are educationally less privileged. Adamawa, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Borno, Cross-River, Ebonyi, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Kastina, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, Taraba, Yobe and Zamfara.

Those making discriminatory and bigotic comments should use their brain, if present and functional, to note that the ELPS states are not 100% northern or muslim.


Interestingly, even those from southern and mostly Christian states enjoying this FG privilege shamelessly or ignorantly join to insult aboki. Na wa o!

So it is safe to say that "All the states in the North fall under Educationally less developed states" then the people in that region needs to have their heads checked

IAmStrange:
And some people were attributing it to Islam, calling it Islamic agenda.

Many began to spite the school, calling it all sorts of derogatory names, with Islam in the picture.

WaLlohi, the minds of many of these people are dark and evil, the Muslims have just become too weak to expose them.

Indeed, it's the truth what Allaah said:

“Never will the Jews nor the Christians be
pleased with you (O Muhammad) till you follow their religion"

It's Islamophobia that will kill some people.

Did a story not come up one time of Covenant university rejecting admission to one Muslim guy in a similar fashion like this?

Did anyone shout Christianization?

When a Muslim does something, they attribute it to Islam. If it's the other way round, you won't hear such a thing coming from us.

Why are you all so deeply obsessed with Islam if you do not fear for its greatness and try to talk it down or criticize it at any given chance?

The reality is that many of these people are just insincere, sick-minded hypocrites!

Imes is coming! Imes is coming! The world should prepare.

The reality of your true selves, how evil your hearts are actually and how foolish your arguments and philosophies are will soon be exposed to the world when Imes comes.

All of you should continue! Imes will be making you all famous; yes, the whole will know you all for your evil and hypocritical ways.

By the time Imes will come, humiliation will be your companion. humiliation will be your nick names. You will all wine and dine with humiliation unless you repent and turn towards truth.

When Imes comes, it will be the end of your era and the beginning of a new one.

When Imes comes, it will be game over for many of you hypocritical lots

Imes is coming, You should all get prepared!

And you are free to wail and attack me on mention. That's your way and it will only make your humiliation more interesting when Imes eventually shows up.

Imes, we await your coming

forget all dis long speech.its no news that Islam is a violent religion,jst imagine wot group like boko haram,Isis,al Qaeda has done to humanity in d name of Islam,Islam has rilly dealt with d world negatively now u see why people ar scared of anything islimization

How did you know unibuja cannot boast of students from 774 local govt and there are no staff from each 36 states of Nigeria even with the fct? Just shut up your mouth and prove your point as you don't unibuja as I do, I graduated there and I know how it is face your ABU and the underage girl am sure she is part of the underage voters in the north

IAmStrange:
LadySarah, is this what your case has degenerated to?

Gradually, you are coming out of your "Jesus believing Identity" to showcase the hypocrite that you are

Indeed, the Prophet was right when He said that one of the signs of an hypocrite is that when he talks, he lies

How would you call me bigot for stating the obvious truth?

I expressed how your fellow Christians wrongly accused and attacked Islam in the other post, saying the reason why they refused the girl admission is because of Islamic agenda.

Eventually, it turned out that they had other reasons and it wasn't on religious grounds.

Your fellow Christians on that thread are the bigots here. They were the ones who attacked Islam unjustifiably and maliciously and did not seek out the actual truth in the matter.

I'm only saying the obvious truth. Your fellow Christians were wrong and they are the bigots here!

So why calling me a bigot? You are just like your fellow Christians and Imes is coming for all of you

Hahaha...I love the way you replied the comment.

But that does not mean I am a Muslim. I don't hate them either. As far as you are OK and fine with it, I am OK and fine with it.

STORIES FOR D gods. WINDOW DRESSING EPISODE. THANKS FOR DEFENSE. FANATICAL RELIGIOUSITY IS STILL AT PLAY IN ABU'S ACTIVITIES. IF U LIKE SPEAK IN FERNANDAPO...

Snowale:
Are you dumb or what, they said she is the 7th best from her state, and they can't admit more than 120 students from the whole of Nigeria, and also there are school of matriculation students graduands who should be admitted.

Wise one, I ain't dumb.
All the other 6 best ahead of her also chose medicine as their choice of course?

How did you pass English in your JAMB or Post-Utme?

sirqeeboi:
And don't know what ppl want
They will say almajiri no dey go school
Pls who are the north admitting
Now they are saying a girl bo get admission because of islam

Please that excuse doesn't sound any good. How many Northerners can boost of such marks?

traihit:
That's a very silly excuse, so silly not only because cut-off mark for university is 180, the candidate had over 300 even though ABU would still admits students scoring less than 200 for the same exam. How then do we battle exam malpractices when individuals like the said candidate will diligently prepare for an exam, come out in flying colours and still he denied admission? Meanwhile, some on the alter of unprogressive and outdated sentiments be given the same admission. For jow long is Nigeria going to drag herself underdevelopment?

May almighty God bless you.....

femi4:
Let them continue with their lies

I use to think yoruba's are smarter than other tribes, seems you are an exemption. The post said she is the 7th best from Nigeria state with 302 and that is verrrry possible.

The Op can only post this because majority of people here can't ask objective questions.
1. The process of admission is the same in all federal university in Nigeria. The merit, catchment area and educational less developed state.
2. Out of the 120 students claimed to be admitted to mbbs in Abu, all states can't have their quota of 2 to 3 candidates applied to ABU. The reason is parents from non northern states will hardly allow their wards who want to study mbbs, apply to northern university because of insecurity. Can the Op publish the names, scores and state of origin so we can see the transparency?
3 is Niger state one of ABU's catchment area or elds?
4. You claimed she ranked 7th from her state, can you publish the name and scores from her state.
U advised a brilliant girl that was on her parthway to study mbbs, to enroll in anatomy, are you for real.
Answer these and we can continue from here.
Besides are you the spokes person for ABU? I doubt.

Let me get this straight. So if a boy or girl from Borno or Yobe scores 201 as the highest in the state, he or she will get into MBBS ahead of a girl who scored 300+ because of quota, diversity and inclusiveness? What baloney! Total malarkey! Where is the reward for her hard work? She would have easily sat for her WASSCE, cheated, made 6 credits, and enter road forking all the boys in Niger state, get pregnant abort, spread HIV, and constitute nuisance, but no, she decided to work hard.
The incompetence in our educational system is grossly alarming!

MasterKernel:
Please that excuse doesn't sound any good. How many Northerners can boost of such marks?

How many?
If you read the post you would seen that the is number 7 from her state. a northern state

See it oh, this is what we were trying so hard to correct yesterday. Nigerians and hasty conclusions.
Why not try to find out the reason for denying her admission b4 pasting it on social media for everyone to judge. Would it have been better they sidelined others above her to appear fair.
To the young girl in question, if you are privileged to read this, you have what it takes to be in MEDICINE no doubt, but some of the best drs u see today didn't make it at a blow, it's a tough competition. Don't give up, best of luck.

Matters arising

1.I beleive the OP's post, and I beleive he is telling the truth.

2.The truth is, there are a lot of people struggling to enter public universites...because they are cheap and because they are cheap.

3.ABU Medical school is oversubscribed....from time inmemmorial. (Infact, unless your parents worked for ABU , your chances of getting into ABU are low.).

4.Actually, ABU has been taking in more northern students of recent....tribalist, yes, but then again, the North has an acute doctor shortage relative to the South. So, understandable (even if I don't agree).

5.Niger state has a lot of academically brilliant students. (I have studied alongisde Nigerlites...and many of them do well at JAMB, and university. Just because it is a Northern state...besides the immediate past Etsu Nupe was a BIG TIME education promoter...Western Education. Anytime the guy was in the news, it was mostly promoting education.)

6. I won't be surprised if the number of Niger students was high...too high. See, ABU has a lot of criteria...and they can't take in everyone.

7. The real issue is that far too many Southerners

a) Think that Northeners are dull(not necessarily true)
b) think that Northerners get into universty on lower scores..(true, and that is even in my opinion damaging to the North...if I was educaiton minister, I would raise cut off marks for the North, and watch as standards go up).
c) One more thing...a Southerner is more likely to find it harder to get into university than Northerners because...there are FAR MORE SOUTHERNERS who are educated than Northerners...so in the numbers game, Southerners lose out more.
d) the real issue is that because our economy is so badly run, there aren't enough technical jobs. Everyone has to go to uni to make it in life. And since private universites are too too expensive...public unis is it.

All in all, Goodness should read Anatomy, graduate with a first class...and then try to gain entry into UI's medical school...and train as a doctor...from 400 level. Or even shine in Anatomy because Lord knows we need more Anatomists in this country.

Your point (c) should be a Southerner is more likely to find it harder to get into a NORTHERN university.


There are more universities in Southern Nigeria. And the Northerners hardly go to the South for studies.

damtan:
Can you please tell us your utme aggregate? As much as I knw, 302 is more that enough for medicine

302 is a very good score,but not stellar enough for MBBS since the school will be picking only the 2 best performers across each state and the FCT and according to this report she is 7th in her state.

The competition that comes with seeking admission for MBBS is crazy,especially getting in on merit.

Alright. I understand now

Bedwyr:
Do you have proof that anyone got into ABU Medical Facutly with score of 205??

1. Typographical error. I meant 225,not 205.

2. We see this backward policy everywhere; intake into the civil service and government agencies, secondary school common entrance, university admission, intake into military and para military, or any government program, etc. Those who make it based on meritocracy are barely 20% of the intake. The rest are based on this kind of allocation to minimally qualified persons, while the highly qualified ones are made to seat on the sidelines.

Sad thing is , the policy tends to favor a geopolitical region, that is why there is a national outrage.

I repeat my question. When less qualified persons run the affairs of the nation, how can we make progress?

IAmStrange:
Look at another insincere approach!

It's either you are insincere or you are ignorant of the whole thing

First of all, I'm not supporting what the school did. my message was directed to those who attributed what they did to Islam in the previous post that went on front page.

If you didn't see that post, go and check front page.

So my message is directed to those that attacked Islam because of it.

And secondly, the school has already explained the reason why they did what they did. did you not read the post?

So what is your claim of "assassination of hsrdwork,
diligence and meritocracy" based on and why would you go to the extent of calling me "not qualified to complain about bla bla bla"?

again, it's either you are sincere and just wanted to attack me like the rest of your people or you are ignorant of the whole thing.

By the way, Imes is coming

Hey! Do you think a sane mind would believe these fairy tales they just served the public?
Nepotism, Tribalism and Religious has an undertone in their decision against the little hard working girl.

you think Abu is so primitive that folks from 36 states won't apply... you guys are ethnic jingoist... d issue has been dealt with just continue to ask questions already answered... we need more schools to cater for people simple... kaduna alone has citizens from all 36 states... Abu is one of the top 5 prestigious university in Nigeria and d entire north... take a trip to Abu u would see Southerners who school there even in maiduguri southerners still go there how much more Abu...
