At its meeting on Tuesday, 03 April, 2007, the Management Committee considered various correspondences on the admission of students through the Diploma Programmes by direct entry into Part-Time Degree Programmes of the University. One of the memos stated inter alia “The majority of the students are yet to obtain the Diploma Certificate, do not have admission letters, are yet to properly register for courses but are already in 300 and 400 levels”.

- Dr. H.A. Ekiyor - Faculty of Social Sciences - Member
- Dr. Olatunji Oladapo - Faculty of Science - Member
- Mrs. G. I. Adejumo - D. R.(General Admin) - Secretary
The terms of reference of the Panel are as follows:
- to find out the circumstances surrounding the admission of students through the Diploma Programmes by direct entry into Part-Time Degree Programmes of the University;
- to establish whether the admission of these diploma students was in accordance with the established admission procedure of the University;
- to ascertain the number of diploma students involved in the irregular admission exercise(s);
- to determine the officers and staff of the University involved in the irregular admission exercise(s);
- to proffer solutions to the irregular admission and
- to recommend ways and means to prevent a recurrence in the future
The Probe Panel should complete its assignment within four weeks, from the date of this bulletin, and submit its report and recommendations to the Vice Chancellor, latest, by Monday, 7 May, 2007.
