POST JAMB UPDATE: UNILAG raises CUT- OFF marks to 250! as Students call for the Sack of Dibu Ojeride

.

Aggrieved parents of candidates seeking admission into the University of Lagos (Unilag), western Nigeria, on Wednesday staged a peaceful protest against the institution for refusing to adhere to the cut-off mark set by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB).
JAMB had at a meeting with educational stakeholders last week agreed that universities are to use the 180 benchmark as requirement for admission, while the polytechnics and colleges of education are to use 150.

But the University of Lagos management insisted that the cut-off mark for admission into the institution is 250.
This drew the ire of students and their parents alike who decided to stage a peaceful
protest at the university gate for about four hours.
They also want the Registrar of JAMB Prof. Dibu Ojerinde to go.
The protest not only caused traffic jam at the entrance of the university, it later resulted in the
forceful closure of the gate
