The management of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has suspended admission into Biochemistry and Petroleum & Gas Engineering programmes for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry.
The varsity’s Public Relations Officer, Mrs Joke Alaga, disclosed this in a statement, on Tuesday.
No reason was given for the suspension of admission into the two programmes.
“We can’t accommodate those two courses right now and it is for those currently buying UTME form.
“All prospective UTME and Direct Entry candidates for the 2023 admission exercise should please note that the University of Lagos will not run two programmes, namely: Biochemistry and Petroleum & Gas Engineering. Hence, there will be no admission into the two programmes.
“Candidates are hereby advised not to choose these two programmes, while those who have done so already should change to other programmes,” the statement read in part.
