The Vice-Chancellor, Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, Kwara State, Professor Taofeek Ibrahim has lauded the management of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for introducing the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) for admitting students.

Speaking at the 13th matriculation of the institution during which 690 students took the matriculation oath, Prof. Ibrahim acknowledged that the introduction of the CAPS admission system has had simplified the admission processing into tertiary institutions.

"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 opportune 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 for those sessions, so it is a very simple platform to manage," he said.

On the matriculation event, the VC announced that faculties of education admitted 64; humanities 243; management sciences 126; social sciences 203 and natural sciences and law 54.
