I ran into a humble-looking Jambite in Ibadan last week, I asked him how many times he had written JAMB, he smiled and replied; once sir.
I quizzed him further on what school he had applied for on his first attempt, he replied OAU sir. Then what are you still doing at home?
That was when he told me about how he sat for the wrong subjects in his jamb and subsequently got disqualified for admission in his preferred course of choice. All this happened due to poor information or miss-information prior to registering of Jamb and post-utme.
Tolu’s predicament can befall anyone who isn’t very watchful and inquisitive with regards their school of choice.
With that in mind I have put together this article that tells an Aspirant all he/she needs to know regarding some top institutions in the country, and this article focuses on Obafemi Awolowo University Ife. The article highlights a the courses offered by the school, the requirements and the JAMB subject combination
From Tolu’s story above you might have noticed that Jambite are always reluctant to search for information regarding their preferred school of choice, when and what they need to successfully get admitted into the institution. So my candid advice is that candidates should source for all the credible info they can get with regards their school of choice.
Aspirants should bookmark the OAU website at www.oauife.edu.ng and visit this site for info from time to time.
