During the meeting which was organised for university admission officers across the country, Ojerinde said that the admission officers should be transparent in whatever actions and decisions they make during the admission process.
“You are reminded to strictly follow the guidelines as outlined by the proprietors of your institutions and the (60:40) Science/Arts ratio for universities and other degree awarding institutions.
“The Federal Government’s approved criteria of merit (is) 45 per cent; catchments 35 per cent and educationally-less developed states, 20 per cent.
All stakeholders are to ensure strict compliance to these criteria as the Federal Government is desirous of giving all Nigerians equal opportunity to mix and educate freely in every partof the country,” he said.
