From the foregoing, even though UNILORIN, UNIZIK,

UNIBEN, UNN, and UNILAG are the top 5 schools in

terms of Applicants. Based on Performance in the UTME;

OAU, UNILAG, UI, UNN, and UNIZIK are the top

performing schools.

Based on 2013 and 2014 performances; we can

therefore conclude that these 5 Universities are

most likely to admit top performers in UTME.

These Universities are the hotspots for the

brightest of Nigerian Students.

Clearly, the performance index is very low. Less than

15% of applicants score 200 and above. Due to low

performance and in order to accommodate and

encourage more enrollments, the Ministry in charge of

Education puts the cut-off marks for Universities at 180,

Polytechnics and Colleges of Education at 160.

While reducing cut-off marks is reasonable, it is

unproductive and defocuses everyone from paying

attention to the root cause of poor performance in

UTME and other National exams, which is low quality

of Education our Students received while in school.

Reducing cut-marks every year creates laziness and

breeds a generation that cannot challenge themselves

to higher standards.

The solution therefore is not lowering the bar of

excellence every now and then, starting point is to

improve the quality of education these students

receive while in school by improving Education

Budget, improve our infrastructures, invest in Teachers

and adapt prevailing teaching methodology to suit the

learning outcome we desire.

It is said, “people will always perform to the level of our

expectation”. Having made the necessary investment

in our Students, Teachers, and Education, let the

Government set higher standards for admissions into

our tertiary institutions and see how our Students sit

up and meet that expectation with excellent

performance.

Our problem is not

the Carrying Capacity

of our Institutions, it

is the Intellectual

Capacity of our

Applicants!
