Prof Ambali speaking with journalists on Monday in Ilorin on preparations for the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the university revealled that a total of 65, 000 candidates wrote the post UMTE computer-based test, out of which 30, 384 candidates scored 50% and above.
The Vice-Chancellor said the institution's admission quota for this year had been reduced, just as the university continued to witness increased consideration from students seeking admission.
He said the university management had written a letter to the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), through the National Universities Commission (NUC) to increase the quota.
"The university has more facilities, more academic programmes, more good lecturers, more patronage in terms of candidates, and other needed infrastructures that can accommodate more students," he said.
Prof Ambali said that academic stability in the university was its highest selling point, hence the scramble for admission by candidates.
He said the university was lucky to have academic staff who engaged in constructive unionism, adding that the management also complemented with openness and transparency.
"Usually, the issue between the academic staff and the management bothers on salary, allowance, non conducive environment, lack of infrastructure like water, light and other amenities, among others.
“As the chairman of all the chairmen in the university, everyone's welfare is my priority. When there's money, we share and if there's none, wwe share the moment together
