Luka Binniyat, the national spokesman for the Middle Belt Forum, has raised concerns about what he sees as unfair admission policies in some universities in the north.
Speaking in an interview with Punch, Luka Binniyat mentioned that his child who is from the Christian North scored 240 in JAMB may not be allowed to study Medicine at Ahmadu Bello University located in Zaria, Kaduna State.
However, he said a student from Zamfara State who scored as low as 120 may be admitted into the university for the same course.
He queried how such a system could promote unity in the north?
In Luka Binniyat’s exact words: “How can my child, who is from the Christian North, score 200 in JAMB or 240 points in JAMB, and he cannot study Medicine at Ahmadu Bello University, but a child from Zamfara State who scored 120 is allowed to study Medicine? How can there be unity?”
