He also added that five candidates who scored highest scores will be given scholarship by the premier institution.
Prof. Adewole who was represented by the Deputy-Vice-Chancellor,

disclosed that the result is now available at the institution’s website

Adewole said:”23,200 candidates scored above 200 in UTME, 20,800
applied for the post UTME in our institution and only 19,268 took the
screening and examination. Our new method of admitting students with the
O’levels and UTME result has really reduced students from withdrawing
at the first year due to poor performances.
“The performance of the five best candidates that were given
automatic scholarship from this institution will b monitored and they
may be retained after their studies here” he said.
Adewole warned members of the public not to influence the institutions admission officials for admission into the institution.”
The UI VC also admonished parents and guardians not to force courses
of their choice on the children and wards but should allow them to study
courses that they have the ability to cope with.
