He said, "I so much like the way this year's post-UTME was conducted. There was a very conducive environment for a normal examination to take place. The halls were ok.
“In fact, the whole University's environment was very conducive. What impressed me more was the way they were creating awareness on the way we should dress as would-be students of their University."
Another candidate, Bature Shukurat, said she was not disappointed in the University over the conduct of the post-UTME screening, saying the University is reputed for best standards.
"Well, I can say I am not disappointed over the screening at all, because Unilorin is known for standard. So everything they do should be properly handled", she said.
