The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has announced the suspension of admissions into its Biochemistry and Petroleum & Gas Engineering departments, effective from the 2024/2025 academic session.

This decision was conveyed through a statement by the Registrar, Mrs. Olakunle Makinde. While the university did not provide specific reasons for halting admissions into these programs, it advised prospective UTME and Direct Entry candidates to take note of the change.

The statement emphasized that no new students would be admitted into these programs until further notice.

“All prospective UTME and Direct Entry candidates for the 2024 admission should please note that the University of Lagos will not run two programs, namely, Biochemistry and Petroleum & Gas Engineering,” the statement read.

“Hence, there will be no admission into the two programs for the 2024/2025 academic session and until further notice. Candidates are hereby advised not to choose any of these programs, and those who have done so should change to other programs.”

Prospective students are encouraged to select alternative programs to ensure their applications are processed smoothly for the upcoming academic year.
