JAMB orders ABU to offer girl medicine after being accused of denying her the course - Edoman - 01-09-2020 JAMB orders ABU to offer girl medicine after being accused of denying her the course because she is a Christian The management of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) has been ordered by the Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede to grant one Miss Shekwobyalo admission in Medicine. The order came after a review meeting with the representative of the Commissioner for Education in Niger State Bellu Attahiru, the Admission Officer of ABU Haruna Ali Mohammed, representatives of the Civil Society Organisations and top officials of the agency. Miss Shekwobyalo who scored 309 in her UTME, had accused the management of the university of denying her admission in medicine because she is a Christian. After the review meeting, it was found that she was not the best candidate from Niger state despite her 309 score in UTME. A breakdown of the top candidates from Niger State is as follows Isah Mujahid (UTME,296; Post-UTME, 303; and Average Score, 299); Hassan Ruqayyat Ndaisa (UTME,275; Post-UTME, 309; and Average Score, 292) and Thomas Goodness Shekwobyalo (UTME,309 ; Post-UTME, 274; and Average Score, 288). Before giving out the order for Shekwobyalo to be offered Medicine, JAMB's registrar told the management of ABU who pegged its Merit List at two candidates per state that it was wrong. JAMB Registrar, Oloyede said; Quote: “Contrary to insinuations, this meeting has shown that Shekwobyalo was not discriminated against on religious or ethnic basis. Also speaking after the meeting, Director of Schools and Educational Services, Mr. Bello Attahiru who represented Niger State's Commissioner for Education said; Quote:” It is obvious she was not discriminated along based on religion. I will let the Niger State Government know the facts as laid down today. We thank JAMB for reversing her admission from Anatomy to Medicine.” Though Shekwobyalo changed her course to Anatomy following a call/advisory she allegedly received from ABU, it was reversed to medicine and effected by the Admission Officer of ABU, Haruna Ali in the presence of stakeholders. |
