Don Warns Private Universities Over Admission

The National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Joint Matriculation Board (JAMB) has been advised to monitor private universities and ensure that they do not exceed the admission quota allotted to them.

This warning came from Prof. Chris Ohuruogu who was speaking at the Graduation and Prize giving day of Pace Setters’ Schools, Abuja. Ohuruogu, a Professor at Afe Babalola University, argued that the statistics of admission into private universities for 2013 did not reflect good performance of the institutions in terms of ratio to allotted quota.

“Many of the private universities need more students to survive and they also depend on tuition fees which should not be the case.

“Most private universities are unmindful of the facilities, quality of teachers among others, and they go ahead and admit more than the carrying capacity,” he said.

He however urged the Federal Government to increase its investment in the education sector in order to improve the deteriorating conditions of public universities.
