By Georgia John
In recent days, Nigerians both at home and abroad have been caught in the whirlwind of a thought-provoking question that is yet to receive a satisfactory answer. The question that has stirred this wave of curiosity concerns the admission of former governor and presidential candidate of the 2023 election in Nigeria, Peter Gregory Obi, into the prestigious University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN). The controversy stems from the revelation that Mr. Obi secured his admission into UNN with a mere P8 grade in both English and Mathematics, despite the university’s clear admission requirements specifying the need for a credit in these subjects. In this article, we aim to unravel the mystery behind this contentious admission.
To comprehend the gravity of this controversy, it is crucial to first understand the admission requirements at UNN. The university, like many others in Nigeria, has established specific criteria that prospective students must meet to gain entry. Among these criteria, a credit (C6 or above) in both English and Mathematics is considered fundamental. The rationale behind this is to ensure that students admitted possess a certain level of competence in these core subjects, which are integral to academic success and future career prospects.
The revelation that Mr. Peter Gregory Obi was admitted to UNN with a P8 in both English and Mathematics raises pertinent questions about the admission process. UNN is renowned for its rigorous academic standards and is considered one of the top universities in Nigeria. Given the clear admission criteria, how did Mr. Obi manage to gain entry with subpar grades in these essential subjects?
