why not shortkist and publish the names before the interview since some applicants are outside Lagos state
if i’m running a diploma/ foundation programme in unilag, am i eligible for this scholarship award
Pls I would love u to paste the names of successful candidates via any source of media to enabld those of us that are staying very far from Lagos State. Pls I want to also plead that its very difficult to get a letter from my registrar so I don’t know if I can skip that.
i am schooling far from lagos ,isn”t there any means to apply.and it is hard 2 get letta from the register can i do without that.
How can someone know that he is qualified for the interview excercise coming up on 20th april,2010.please i will need a replly.thanks.
This kind of gesture is good for the less privilege but no student has a direct contact with the Registrar, some plp has nothing in their disposal and to transport themselves down to Lagos might not be easy. Pls why not register on the net
Pls., can u help we students publish d names of shortlisted students so dt those who applied wld know if dy’re qualified 2 be present 4 interview on d 20th of April? Or is dre any way one can know he/she is qualified 4 interview?
is it going to be an oral interview or a written one
Why not paste the names of those that are eligible on newspapers.
