The Management of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) have stated that the school will not conduct UTME as directed by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The management of the University said it will not go against the directive of the federal government that all universities should not conduct post UTME.
This decision was made public by the Public Relations Officer of the institution, Olanrewaju Abiodun.
He stressed that “OAU is owned by the federal government, therefore the school will not conduct Post UTME since all higher institutions in the country have been directed not to do so”
He however did not state which process will be used to admit new students into the University for the next academic session.
This development is not however shocking because a few days ago, the Federal Government announced that henceforth universities are no longer authorized by law to conduct UTME. Following this new development, the Federal Government has also pegged the general cut off mark for JAMB at 180.
It means that before any candidate can gain admission into any University, such a candidate must score a minimum of 180 in JAMB...
