Unilorin Quota Breach Leaves 44 MBBS Graduates Stranded

Unilorin Quota Breach Leaves 44 MBBS Graduates Stranded — 1 of 3
1 / 3

In August 2025, 194 students at the University of Ilorin fulfilled all requirements for the MBBS degree, but the school’s official MDCN quota was set at 150. To comply on paper, Unilorin forwarded only its top 150 graduates for induction in November, leaving 44 doctors unable to register for Medical Housemanship or participate in NYSC nearly a year after graduation. University management says it is in talks with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria to secure an increased quota and complete the induction process. Should institutions face sanctions for such breaches? What solutions can help these stranded doctors? Share your thoughts below.

How can the University of Ilorin justify selecting only 150 graduates when 194 met every requirement for the MBBS degree?

Do we know what criteria Unilorin used to limit graduation slots this session?

It seems the quota policy might not reflect actual student performance, given the top 150 were chosen despite a larger eligible pool.

I'm not convinced the quota rule alone caused this issue; perhaps other bureaucratic factors influenced which names were forwarded.

The university should publish clear criteria for graduate selection and set up an independent review to prevent future stranded cohorts.
