The Vice Chancellor of Abia State University, Uturu , Professor Ndukwe Okeudo has said that admission process in the institution is being run on tight merit-based system which can not be compromised.

 

 

He also disclosed that he rejected attempts by some parents to have their children transferred from other disciplines into the fields of Medicine and Law.

 

Professor Okeudo who was addressing Journalists in preparation for the 30th, 31st and 32nd combined Convocation claimed that admission and other activities in the University have been standardized since he took over as Vice Chancellor in November, 2024.

 

 

He said it was wrong for parents to attempt transferring their children into Medicine, Pharmacy and Law .

 

“People were pressuring; transfer my child to Medicine, transfer my child to Law, I said no !

 

 

” If your child did not pass Medicine and Law in JAMB, they can’t study them,” Professor Okeudo said.

 

The Vice Chancellor, who praised Governor Alex Otti for clearing the salary backlog left by the previous administration in Abia, also thanked him for the projects his administration is executing in the University.

 

Meanwhile, a total of 10, 255 Scholars would participate in the combined Convocation on Friday.
