Attention: Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria
Goodness Thomas, the Valedictorian of St. Clement Secondary School, Gbaiko Minna, Niger State for year 2019.
This girl scored 302 in her JAMB, 274 in Post UTME at the ABU Zaria. She has 6 A1s (including Maths, Biology, Physics and Chemistry) in her WAEC yet ABU Zaria denied her admission to study her course of choice, Medicine and Surgery, rather she was offered Human Anatomy.
ABU Zaria cut off mark for Medicine and Surgery is 250. She surpassed that score by 52 points.
She is currently demoralized by this act and we need to fight for her. She is only 16 years old and does not deserve this trauma.”
It is unimaginable that in this age someone with English , Mathmatics , Chemistry, Biology and scored one of the highest scores in recent times in both JAMB and the Post UTME will end with a course she never when those who scored half of what she scored will end up as medical students.
To deny this girl this admission is to cement the the wrongly held notion that the ABU of today no longer values merit . Using religious quota under any guise is a sacrilage that no Nigerian Muslim or Christian should be subjected to.
Those charged with the responsibility of correcting this error should remember that the tenor of human positions no matter how highly exhalted will one day come to an end only Gods tenure is eternal.
