JAMB Tightens Admission Rules Against “Runs”

Universities must admit at least 90% of candidates on merit before using “connections” (exemption mode).

Merit-first is now policy — and it’s enforced.

Minimum Age for Admission Remains 16

Anyone younger than 16 is not eligible for admission — regardless of their JAMB score.

Medical Courses Still Most Competitive

Over 570,000 candidates applied for Medical Sciences.
Only about 115,000 can be admitted.

That’s less than 1 in 5 applicants — make sure your backup plans are solid!

Final Words for Students and Parents:

The game has changed.

Your child scoring 300+ is great — but if they rank 200,000th, it might not mean much.
Focus on rank, stay alert, and act fast on every admission offer.

Royal Shepherds holds Leadership Training for Officers

Elebam

The leadership training organized by the Royal Shepherds holds great potential to foster effective and inspiring leaders within the Ado Divisional Council.

Ado Divisional Commandant RS Major Michael Ogunmodede

The three days leadership training kicked started today Thursday, June 12 to Saturday,June 14, 2025 at Christ APOSTOLIC Church, Oke Item DCC, Ado Ekiti, Nigeria.

In his welcome address, the Ado Divisional commandant, RS Major Michael Ogunmodede, welcomed everyone to the exciting leadership training course.

“We did this about three years ago at CAC Oke Ila DCC headquarters with a good turnout of our members” DC said

“On behalf of myself, the Executive Committee, and the Committee members, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your presence and dedication to this important program” RS Major Ogunmodede further said

He went on ” I am confident that this training will be a valuable and enriching experience for all of us adding that this is not just about learning new techniques; it is about building friendships, fostering teamwork, and, most importantly, cultivating a shared love by uplifting ourselves”

Ogunmodede appreciated the Regional Commander, RS Brigadier General Pius Olarewaju Ogunjobi for his contribution to the Ado Divisional Council

” I also want to extend my appreciation to the host church and committee members for their efforts in making this leadership training possible. Your commitment and passion for this training program are truly inspiring and appreciated”

He said Leadership is not about a position, it’s about influence and inspiration. A truly effective leader empowers others by understanding their needs, communicating effectively, and guiding them towards a common goal. They are humble, adaptable, and foster a positive and collaborative environment.

RS Major Ogunmodede harped on the qualities of good leaders and urged everyone to be good leaders in their respective positions and companies.

He highlighted the qualities of leadership as follows;

As a leader, you must have Vision: You must have a clear vision about what you want to do with your life. There are 7.95 billion people in the world and you need to stand out from the crowd, so your vision will determine your future as a leader one day.
Communication is very key as a leader: ‘How good am I at communicating my ideas to others?’ This is the question you have to ask yourself if you plan to become a great leader. A great leader masters the art of communication to convey his vision, expectations, and feedback.
A good leader must have Empathy: A person who understands and empathises with his teammates or people can build strong relationships and foster a positive work environment. They acknowledge individual needs, concerns, and strengths.
Integrity must be a core value of a good leader: Trust forms the foundation of any relationship. As a leader, you need to demonstrate honesty, reliability, and consistency to earn the trust and respect of your team members.
A good leader must be Resilient: Challenges and setbacks are inevitable. Good leaders face challenges head-to-head, adapt to change, and motivate their team to overcome obstacles.
A good leader must have Courage: How courageous are you? Are you willing to take risks and advocate for change? A courageous leader stands for what he believes is right, even in the face of opposition or adversity.
A good leader must be Creative: How often do you think outside the box? As a leader, you need to make innovative decisions to encourage creativity and welcome new ideas.
Empowerment: A great leader empowers his people and others, solves their problems, and encourages cultural autonomy and accountability.
Service for Others: A good leader believes in serving others before themselves. It is like the motto of the Indian Army, ‘Service Before Self’.

He urged all participants to begin the leadership training with a spirit of collaboration and let us cooperate with our leaders and listen attentively to the theory and practical aspects of the training. Once again, let us make this a memorable experience.
