Beware! UNN yet to start sell of forms for Sandwich Programmes.

The University of Nigeria has released a Disclaimer disassociating itself from news making rounds that the University has commenced registration for her Sandwich and Evening Programmes. 

According to the release signed by Dr. Okwun Omeaku, the University's Acting PRO, the said adverts are not from the University but the handiwork of mischievous fellows. The release further warned the members of the public of the dangers of dealing with the fellows involved.

See full release below as obtained from the school's website (Disclaimer Notice) :

UNN SANDWICH AND EVENING PROGRAMMES

The attention of the University of Nigeria Management, has been drawn to a certain advertorial calling for purchase of admission forms for a “Proposed Take-off” of Sandwich and Evening Degree and Diploma Programmes of the University of Nigeria.

1. Akure liaison office
2. Owo Liaison Office

• Ore Liaison Office

1. Akungba and Ifori Liaison Offices and
2. Ifedore Area

The General Public is hereby warned to discountenance these advertorials as the University of Nigeria hereby informs the GENERAL PUBLIC that the said adverts on the programmes are FAKE and have nothing to do with the University of Nigeria.

The University of Nigeria dissociates itself from the said adverts.

Anyone doing business with these purported Liaison Offices does so at his/her own risk.

Please be WARNED.

Leave Admission Processes entirely to Universities.

An educationist, Mr Ike Onyechere, has called on the Federal Government to decentralise admission process by allowing tertiary institutions to select their candidates without input from any coordinating body.

Onyechere told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday that tertiary institutions should be given complete autonomy to select applicants for specific programmes based on their criteria.

“I think the admission of students should be deregulated."

“Tertiary institutions should be allowed to admit their students in line with the law setting them up."

“I find it a little bit surprising that a university is free to admit candidates for master’s and doctorate degrees but cannot admit for undergraduate degrees; it doesn’t make sense to me,’’ he said.

Onyechere, Chairman, Exam Ethics Marshals International, an NGO, said tertiary institutions should be given complete autonomy to operate, as obtained most developing and developed countries.

“What happens is that about 500 tertiary institutions in this country will immediately create about 500,000 jobs because they will have full-fledged departments to make and process admissions,” Onyechere said.

NAN recalls that former Vice-Chancellor of Veritas University, Prof. Mike Kwanashie, had called for complete autonomy to enable tertiary institutions.
