Parents, youths protest cut-off mark


Parents, youths protest cut-off mark

CANDIDATES SEEKING ADMISSION INTO THE UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS, PROTEST


OVER THE UNIVERSITY’S REQUEST FOR CANDIDATES TO SCORE TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY


(250) GARDES AND ABOVE IN UNIFIED TERTIARY MATRICULATION EXAMINATION


(UTME), AGAINST JAMB’S CUT-OFF MARK OF ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY (180), TO BE


CONSIDERED FOR ADMISSION, IN LAGOS ON WEDNESDAY




Aggrieved parents have taken to the streets on  peaceful protest in front of the main gate of the University of Lagos.


The parents expressed their grievance and discontent with the school’s refusal to accept the 150 cut off mark issued by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) instead of raising theirs to 250.


Parents are concerned that this recent development will disqualify their children from gaining admission into the university. The youths are also optimistic that the Federal Government will intervene in the issue.
