Again UNILORIN Tops Among Nigerians’ 10 Most Preferred University

The Joint Admission Matriculation Board has said the University of Ilorin and University of Lagos, Akoka are the first two institutions who had the highest numbers of being picked as first choice universities in Nigeria.

This was recorded in the 2021 policy document signed by the JAMB’s registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede.

For the fifth year running, University of Ilorin this year emerged the most preferred university of first choice by admission seekers in Nigeria with about 78,466 applications.

UNILAG had 59,190, University of Benin, 49,763; University of Nigeria, Nsukka, 47,239; Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, 45,920; Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, 44,509; Bayero University, 44,352; Nnamdi Azikiwe University, 43542; Obafemi Awolowo University, 42, 614 and University of Jos, 38,309.

As part of efforts to make enquiries easy for applicants, JAMB said the candidates no longer needed to travel to JAMB offices to access certain services.

“The board uses the ‘ticketing system’ where a candidate or anybody desiring the board’s services can send their complaint(s). Responses are given within 24 hours. It has a tracking number that is issued once a ticket is raised. If not attended to, the number can be used as evidence to track the officer scheduled who would be sanctioned.

The system is designed to eliminate any stress associated with accessing the board’s services.”
