By Ugwu, Chinagorom Joseph

Enugu-The University of Nigeria Nsukka Administration has, on Thursday, denied making official pronouncement or announcement on cut-off marks for the 2017/2018 admission.

      In an announcement, signed by the institution’s Acting Public Relations Officer, Chief (Dr.) Okwun Omeaku and sent to institution’s regulated e-mail accounts of staff and students of the institution, and also published on the University's website, advises  the general public  to beware of dubious and fraudulent individuals currently parading advertorials on social media with regards to admission and cut-off marks for the University of Nigeria. 

     The institution, while dissociating itself from the  publications, reminded the general public that all official guidelines and pronouncements can only be accessed on the University Website or portal, www.unn.edu.ng.  Part of the statement reads:

 “The attention of the Management of the University of Nigeria, has been drawn to Social Media Advertorials making the rounds about University of Nigeria cut-off Marks for admission. The University of Nigeria hereby dissociates itself from the social media publications or indeed any other publications related to admissions and cut-off marks for the University, as there has been no official pronouncement or publication on admission or cut-off marks for the University”

     Recall that The Federal Government had, last year, June 2, through the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu scrapped post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination during the 2016 Combined Policy meeting on admissions to Universities, Polytechnics and other higher institutions in Nigeria and adopted Point System Option, ordering tertiary institutions to whilst mapping out cut-off marks, grant admissions based on candidates’ SSCE grades and UTME scores.
