number of eligible candidates is 87:1000 (University of Lagos, 2006). It is,
therefore, imperative that the selection mechanism be open and ratio-
nal. The realization problem for rational access is further compounded
with the introduction of post-UME test. With two assessment scores per
candidate given the department/faculty/university of choice quota, the
question is how best can we optimize a candidate’s opportunity to be
admitted? That is,
• How do we establish that a particular candidate actually sat for the
JAMB examination?
• Is the JAMB examination score enough to measure competence?
