Speaking with newsmen in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, Rauf expressed delight over the seamless conduct of the exercise, attributing the huge number to adequate preparations put in place by the university management.

“During the exercise, the centre employed the use of high-level technological innovation it put in place by the institution.”

He said these included departmental examinations, Institute of Education examinations, Centre for Open and Distance Learning examination (CODL), remedial examinations, and Post-UTME screening.

“Others include, examinations for the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, Nursing Council of Nigeria, and Agricultural Council of Nigeria, among others,” he added.

The director was however silent on the number of admission-seekers UNILORIN would be giving admission for the 2024/2025 session.
