UNILAG’s Cut Off Mark Causes Protests

Aggrieved parents opposed to the University of Lagos (UNILAG)’s new JAMB cut-off mark for those seeking admission into the institution have besieged the campus to voice their displeasure.

The parents accused the school authority of manufacturing its own cut-off mark of 250 on prospective students instead of the 180 approved by UTME.
