The institution also praised the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for introducing Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) for admitting students.

Its Vice Chancellor, Prof Taofeek Ibrahim, said this in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital at the 13th matriculation of the institution during which 690 students took the matriculation oath.

The students were admitted into the faculties of education (64), humanities (243), management sciences (126), social sciences (203); natural sciences and law (54).

He reminded the freshers of the university's rules and regulation.

"I need to inform you that the university maintains zero tolerance to any form of academic corruption, dishonesty, laziness and distrust.

"I implore you to comply fully with the moral dictates of this institution for the good image of the school and for your own success. You need to be reminded that you cannot harvest what never planted.

"I charge you all to be very serious with your studies, to be very morally upright and to avoid gangs of unserious students, drug abuse, sexual misbehaviour, fighting, examination malpractices and other vices that may lead to your rustication or expulsing from this institution to make your learning and stay in this university to be very conducive, comfortable and highly successful. This institution looks forward to you as Nigeria's leaders of tomorrow."

On the CAPS admission system, Ibrahim said its introduction by JAMB had been help in admission processing.

"Honestly, I hope the admission officer is here to comment on that; so far we have not had any problem. It has been very easy operating on the platform. We are lucky to have been in all the training sessions that JAMB organised from the beginning to the last.

"So, I feel for those universities that were not opportuned to be there, I was present, the Registrar was present, the admission officer was present in one single event and in other events, we also ensure that we were available on those sessions, so it is a very simple platform to manage," he said.
