OVER 20,000 JOSTLE FOR 4,000 SLOTS AS FUTA
COMMENCES 2016 ADMISSION EXERCISE
In accordance with extant practice, the Federal
University of Technology, Akure has begun the 2016/
2017 admission process into its various
undergraduate degree programmes with the
screening of candidates. The four day Post-UTME
screening exercise began on Tuesday, 9th August,
2016 with over 20,000 candidates jostling for 4,000
admission slots. The exercise which started as early
as 7a.m. saw candidates trooping in in batches
allocated to them. The transparent process saw
officials of the University, including the Security Unit
checking the documents of the candidates for
eligibility. A team of the University Management, led
by Deputy Vice-Chancellor, (Academic), Professor
Olatunde Arayela who is the Chairman, Admission
Committee went round to observe the conduct of the
exercise.
Starting from the University Sports Centre where the
candidates were given a brief orientation to the point
of the final screening, everything went on smoothly.
Professor Olatunde Arayela commended the conduct
of the exercise. According to him, in accordance with
the policy of the Federal Ministry of Education, Abuja,
FUTA is conducting the exercise checking the UTME
and Ordinary Level results of candidates who chose
the Institution with a score of 180 and above in the
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
He said there would not be any test whatsoever.
Assessing the conduct of the exercise, Professor
Arayela said it has been very impressive and well
conducted. The candidates are well behaved,
cooperating with the officials of the University and
complying with the directives. “We have both the
representatives of the National Universities
Commission (NUC) and the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) on ground to witness the
conduct of the exercise. This is to ensure
transparency and due process in the exercise” he
added. He said about 4000 candidates will eventually
scale the huddle to become FUTA new students out of
the 20000 that registered for the screening exercise.
The Chairman, Publicity Sub-Committee, Dr. Joseph
Basorun and Chairman, Technical Sub-Committee,
Professor Boniface Alese both commended the
conduct of the exercise. Basorun and Alese,
comparing the exercise with the previous ones said
“there is a significant improvement in the conduct.
This is less time consuming, less stressful and it is
cost effective. FUTA is a University with high
reputation in conducting internal and external
examinations. In the history of admission exercise in
this University, we always try our best to avoid and at
best reduce irregularities. This one too is not an
exemption.”
Assessing the Security situation during the exercise,
the University Chief Security Officer (CSO), Alhaji
Oladepo Lawal said everything went smoothly with
no hitch. “Our security operation is always intact
while conducting examinations. It has never
happened in the history of this University to have
issues during the conduct of entrance examination
and screening. We also have a good reputation of a
cult-free environment” he said.
Expressing their view on the exercise, some
applicants said they are delighted in the smooth
operations at FUTA. According to them, the exercise
was orderly. A candidate, Shadow Solomon intending
to study Computer Science said “I am really satisfied
with the conduct of the screening. Everything went on
smoothly from the start to the end. I was thrilled
about the University anthem played to us in one of
the halls. It teaches self-reliance and academic
excellence. I am in love with FUTA already. The
reception given to candidates and our parents is
super. The officials at the screening venue were
friendly and I love the Sport Centre, especially the
track field. I look forward to becoming a part of this
great citadel of learning.”
