He explained that the test was completed on February 22 while February 23 was for mop-up, to accommodate candidates who were unavoidably unable to sit for the test within the previously scheduled dates.

Omotesho stated that there was prompt daily release of results to candidates, attributing it to the vision of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Wahab Egbewole (SAN), to ensure that the university continues to conform with global best practices.

Omotesho assured that the university would begin posting information on the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) once the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) opens CAPS for the process.

He emphasised that any admission conducted outside CAPS remains illegal, warning candidates to beware of scammers.

He advised them to only use the university’s official platforms for information and communication.
