University of Abuja has denied allegation by Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) that it engages in illegal admissions.<\/p>\n

The University has fired back at the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB<\/a>, that it lacked constitutional powers to meddle in admissions into universities.<\/p>\n

It was reacting to last week\u2019s allegations by the nation\u2019s tertiary institutions\u2019 examination\u2019s body, JAMB that it was engaging in \u201cIllegal admissions\u201d, outside the constitutional provisions.<\/p>\n

Quoting the relevant constitutional provisions guiding the operations of the nation\u2019s university education system, the University of Abuja in a statement by its Head, Information and University Relations, Dr Habib Yakoob, insisted that it was not out of place for it to conduct admissions without JAMB\u2019s input.<\/p>\n

The statement, tagged \u201cThe University of Abuja is not engaged in illegal admissions,\u201d read: \u201cThe Universities Miscellaneous Provisions, (Amendment) Act 2003 7a (ii) states that \u2018the Senate shall have powers in all academic matters, including the organization and control, teaching and research, admission of students.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat this means is that the university, not any external body, is guaranteed the power of admissions.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe University of Abuja has been constrained to respond to recent reports in the media that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has named the university, among others (curiously unmentioned), as being engaged in \u201cillegal admissions\u201d exercise because it failed to upload the list of its admission on Central Admissions Processing System, CAPS.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe University of Abuja wishes to categorically and emphatically state that it has not conducted any illegal admissions, and has nothing to hide as far as its admission is concerned.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes bold to state that, at the moment, the university has one of the best and most transparent systems of admission in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis, indeed, is the only federal university which catchment area is the whole of Nigeria, and truly and practically admits from all states of the country, while simultaneously upholding the principle of merit and excellence.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur rules are clear and transparent. As long as candidates have taken the UTME, scored 180 and above, met the university\u2019s cut off points and some other stringent criteria set by JAMB, the university ensures, within the limit of its capacity, that such candidates stand a chance of getting admitted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn other words, nobody who has not taken the UTME, nor failed to meet JAMB or university guidelines, can be admitted in the University of Abuja.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn any case, the university is familiar with the operation of CAPS, and has since, largely embraced it as part of its contributions to ensuring that the university system serves and protects the interest of all Nigerians in the search for quality tertiary education.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, the Merit List for the 2020\/2021 admissions was proposed on CAPS and all queries issued on same were replied to accordingly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to note that candidates have been directed to ensure that they upload their \u201cO\u201d Level results and accept their offer of admission on CAPS. This is the clearest proof that the university is not opposed to or in violation of CAPS and what it represents.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the university is careful that in following this operation, it is not hindered to effectively deliver the service for which it was created, in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter all, it is not outside the powers of the university to conduct admissions of our students. The Universities Miscellaneous Provisions, (Amendment) Act 2003 7a (ii) states that \u201cThe Senate shall have powers in all academic matters including the organization and control, teaching and research, admission of students\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat this means is that the university, not any external body, is guaranteed the power of admissions.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us assure JAMB, candidates and relevant stakeholders in the Nigerian educational project that the University of Abuja is engaged in honest, transparent and open admissions in all its various programmes, and certainly, it will continue to uphold these virtues which have been its defining hallmark, especially in the last couple of years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
