The management of the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta
(FUNAAB) has disclosed that the University will only admit 3,500 out of
the 12,500 candidates that participated in the 2015 post-UTME screening
exercise.
This was made known by the Director of Academic Planning,
Professor Olukayode Akinyemi while commenting on the just concluded
screening exercise.
He commended the efforts of the Federal
Government in bench-marking the admission process, because it would
allow many prospective students to have access to other levels of higher
education such as the Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.
He
stated that it was imperative for Universities to have their own
bench-marks, to maintain high standards. He noted that there were still
other ways of screening-out candidates with bad characters even though
they might have met the basic academic requirements in the interest of
the system.
Professor Akinyemi, however, advised candidates who
could not be admitted into FUNAAB not to be discouraged as there were
other institutions that could still admit them, because for now, FUNAAB
could only admit about 3,500 applicants.
