President Bola Tinubu on Saturday said his administration will do its best to re-establish Nigeria's status as the Giant of Africa.

The president stated this shortly after receiving President of Guinea- Bissau and Chairman Authority ECOWAS Head of State and Government, Umaro Sissoco Embalo, who paid him a private visit in Lagos.

In a post on his official social media handles, Tinubu said both leaders discussed several issues of mutual interests.

The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), the University of Lagos (UNILAG) and the Lagos State University (LASU) have emerged as the most preferred tertiary institutions chosen by candidates who sat the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

While UNILORIN ranked first with 73,749 applicants, UNILAG ranked second with 60,606 applicants, and LASU ranked third with 55,964.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) gave the information on Saturday during an ongoing policy meeting chaired by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Andrew Adejoh.

The University of Ilorin has consistently been the candidates’ most preferred institution for over three years.

The Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission, Prof. Abubakar Rasheed on Monday announced his voluntary resignation.

Rasheed disclosed this in an interaction with our correspondent and noted that he would be returning to the Bayero University Kano to continue his job as a lecturer.

The PUNCH reports that Rasheed was appointed as the NUC boss seven years ago during the tenure of the erstwhile minister of education, Adamu Adamu.
