NiDCOM said Igbinedion University, Okada, Edo State; Summit University, Offa, Kwara State and American University, have shown interest in absorbing the evacuated Nigerian students from Sudan.
THEWILL reports that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), had promised to provide necessary support to ensure that the students are integrated into the nation’s universities.
Chairman/CEO, NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, acknowledged the efforts of Igbinedion University when she received the institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Lawrence Ikechukwu Ezemonye, in Abuja.
“We were with JAMB and JAMB has given conditions, processes and guidelines to follow which I am sure you are aware of and the key thing is even if they have come to you and you have admitted them, we will need that letter from JAMB saying JAMB has given them admission letter, so we avoid situations that after graduation they can’t go for youth service”, she said.
The commission also disclosed that the 15th batch of Evacuees, comprising 125 Nationals who departed Port Sudan International Airport, landed at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport around 12 noon local time on Saturday, via Tarco Air.
A total of 2,371 Nigerians have been evacuated so far.
