10,886 Students Matriculate At UNILORIN For The 2016/2017 Session

The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN)  has matriculated 10,886.

The  Vice-Chancellor tasked new students on excellence and discipline. He cautions them against cultism and pornography.

The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, told the newly admitted students of the institution to be committed to the ideals of excellence, discipline, peace, stability and development for which the University has been known for years.

Congratulating the students for what he described as an important milestone in their life, Prof. Ambali pointed out that many had applied to study at the University but that only a few were admitted because of the limited number of spaces.

The Vice-Chancellor advised the new students to see their admission as a golden opportunity and to match it with a corresponding responsibility, adding that no one can limit them except they themselves.

Prof. Ambali informed the students that they would face challenges in the course of their studies but assured them that they would overcome because challenges are part of life, noting that anywhere there is a problem or challenge, opportunity is also present.

Prof. Ambali told the students that their set means a lot to him because the  set is the last set of students that will matriculate under the Administration he is privileged to head.

While administering the Matriculation Oath on the students, the Registrar of the University, Mr. Emmanuel Dada Obafemi, explained that the Matriculation is a solemn and sacred exercise representing a contract between the students and the University.

A breakdown of the matriculated students show that the Faculty of Education has the highest number of 2,442 fresh students while the Faculty of Veterinary Science, with 40 registered new students, has the least.
