The Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan (UI), Prof Idowu
Olayinka has disclosed that only 3,000 candidates out of the over 29,000
who scored 200 and above in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) and chose the university as their choice will gain
admission n to the University this year.
He disclosed while speaking on the topic, “Challenges of Building a
World Class University” at the 68th Interdisciplinary Research Discourse
of the Postgraduate school.
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.(MySchool)
