But the accolades did not stop there. The Vice-Chancellor also pronounced tuition-free scholarships to the top ten students in the UTME from Deeper Life High School across the nation. An additional tuition rebate was announced for the first 50 students from the same school who achieved scores above 250 in the 2022/2023 UTME and will be admitted into Anchor University for the 2023/2024 academic session.

Upholding Quality: The Professor’s Call to All Nigerians

Professor Bandele, an esteemed scholar of Educational Evaluation and Computer Education, used this occasion to implore Nigerians to exercise caution when endorsing allegations against accredited and national bodies with defined responsibilities. Drawing attention to the recent controversies surrounding JAMB scores, he highlighted the need to protect the integrity of our national ivory towers from becoming a battleground for political contestation.

With JAMB providing an authentic database for quality digitalization of its activities, the Vice Chancellor urged all stakeholders to respect the institution’s commitment to ensuring quality inputs into the Nigerian higher education system.
