UI advises 408 students to withdraw and emphasizes on importance of Post-UTME.

The management of University of Ibadan (UI) through the Senate of the University has advised 408 students who are supposed to be their 200 level, to withdraw from the institution after failing to meet the minimum academic requirements.

UI ratified the withdrawal of the students at its Senate meeting where results of graduating and non-graduating students were considered and approved.

The senate revealed that most of the affected students were admitted to the school when the post-UTME test was not conducted because of opposition to the exercise in the 2016/2017 session.

Prof. Adeyinka Aderinto, the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic) told journalists in Ibadan that parents of students should interrogate their students and be sure they are not among the affected students.

He said, “I call on parents to monitor their children to ensure that those who have been asked to withdraw from the university do not lie and continue to extort money in the name of being a student at the university.”

He added that the POST-UTME screening has really helped the school in choosing the best among candidates aspiring to study in the school.

“The conduct of UI Model of Post-UTME screening has helped to separate men from boys and helped the institution in maintaining its historical standards as a global brand.

“Being admitted to the UI is a privilege that requires students to be up and doing in their studies.” he said.

He finally stated that students who fail to meet the school’s minimum academic performance will always be asked to leave the school.

“There are minimum academic requirements a student must meet at the end of the session and those who fall short of that would have to leave the university.
