The University of Ilorin has matriculated 12,650 students for its 2014/2015 academic session.

Speaking at the ceremony, the vice chancellor of the university, Prof AbdulGaniyu Ambali said 80 of the matriculants are foreign students.

He said the number of admitted students has an 11 per cent increase from the last academic session’s 8,591 candidates.

He told the matriculating students to thank God and the university for considering them worthy of being admitted into the institution.

He said, “Therefore, the first important thing is that you should be grateful, grateful to God who makes everything possible; grateful to your parents and guardians who have seen you to this stage.

“I know some of you would wonder why you should be grateful to the university since you are qualified and your effort brought you here. The truth is that the university is creating more space for those who are qualified.

“For example, only 8,591 students could be admitted last academic session but we have increased the space so that additional thousands were added above the number we admitted last session. As the saying goes, many are called but few are chosen.”
