State University, Keffi, says the Joint Admission
and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has increased
the university’s admission quota from 4,000 to
5,000 students.
Akaro-Mainoma made this known on Friday in
Keffi when members of the state’s House of
Assembly Committee on Education, Science and
Technology paid an oversight visit to the
institution.
The vice-chancellor, represented by the
Registrar of the institution, Alhaji Bala Ahmed,
lauded JAMB for the gesture, and added that
the move would address admission gap.
He commended the assembly for its continued
support to the institution, and gave assurance to
continue to initiate good policies and
programmes for lecturers and students.
“We are maintaining the act establishing the
university that said that 80 per cent of every
admission of the institution should be given to
indigenes while 20 per cent should be for non-
indigenes,” he said.
“We will continue to do our best to maintain
standard and to ensure that the standard of
education in this institution is improved.
“With your continued support, I hope and
believe that the standard of education in this
institution will improve.”
According to him, JAMB has increased the
admission quota of the university from 4,000 to
5,000, so as to accommodate more students
and it was based on the facilities on ground.
“I also want to commend Gov. Tanko Al-Makura
for giving adequate attention to educational
advancement and infrastructural development in
this institution, and I call for its sustenance.
He also commended Tertiary Education Trust
Fund (TETFUND) for keying into education
projects that had direct bearing on the lives of
the university community.
He said that special intervention from TETFUND
had not only changed the physical structure of
the university, but its academic activities.
Hon. Daniel Oga Ogazi (APC-Kokona East), the
Chairman, House Committee on Education,
Science and Technology said that the purpose
of visit was to assess the budget performance
of the institution.
He gave an assurance that the government was
ready to address the institution’s challenges in
order to improve on the standard of education
in the state. (NAN)
