First of all, let me give you a brief
info about the University. The University of Nigeria, commonly referred
to as UNN, is a federal university located at Nsukka, Enugu State,
Nigeria. Founded in 1955 and formally opened on October 7, 1960, the
University of Nigeria has four campuses – Nsukka, Enugu and Ituku-Ozalla
– located in Enugu State and one in Aba, Abia State, Nigeria. The main
campus of the University is located on 871 hectares of hilly savannah in
the town of Nsukka, about eighty kilometers north of Enugu, and enjoys a
very pleasant and healthy climate. The University, with a motto ‘To
restore the dignity of man’ has been a very successful ivory tower, and
has produced important personalities in elevated positions in Nigeria.
The likes of Chinua Achebe, Dora Akunyili, Chimanda Adichie amongst
others are alumnus of this great institution. Before I digress, let’s
get to the main points;

1) Leave For Nsukka In Time:
I mean in time, not
on time, I hope you know the difference from your Use of
English. It’s important you be in the School at least two days before
the exam especially for those coming from far places like Lagos. As a
result of the mammoth crowd coming for this exam, there is bound to be
heavy traffic in certain cities around Nsukka. Before now, this exam had
been co-hosted/conducted both at Nsukka and Enugu (UNEC) campuses of
the University, but this time, seemingly all the candidates will have to
head to Nsukka, the only venue for this year. Also, statistics shows
that between 40,000 – 50,000 candidates will be coming for the exams
this year. Another point is that there are only about 3 major transport
companies (Peace, Ifesinachi, and Globis) that ply the Nsukka route. The
points I made above is just to give you a glimpse of what to expect
when you decide to come to Nsukka a day before the exam or even on the
exam day. Please come ahead of time.
2) Transportation in School:
The only means of
transportation within the school is via the school’s bus services known
as UNN shuttle (This is clearly written on the shuttles buses and taxis
available within and outside the campus). It takes students both in and
out of the campus. These shuttles give one a great deal of convenience
and a feeling of safety. They have, as their destination, a park in the
town, which is very close to Peace Mass Transit Park
(i.e, in front of the popular Ogige market at Nsukka). It can as well
stop you anywhere you wish inside the campus or anywhere within its
route. There are also other smaller routes inside the school like the
Flat (Zik’s flat) route. The summary of the transport fares is as
follows
-Town (Park) to
campus: N 40 by shuttle bus
-Campus to Town
(Park): N 50 by shuttle bus
-Anywhere within the Campus
is N30.
Note that these prices are subject to
change depending on the prevailing economic situation.
It’s not advisable
to ask for lift that day, pay for your transport fares. However, it is
more painful not to know anyone or anything about the school before
coming. Guess what? You’re at advantage for having gone through this.
Ladies, as the most ‘endangered’ specie, we would say, “OPEN YOUR EYES.”
We have our reasons; find out as you read on.
3) Ask for Help If Need be
When you need help
in any way like locating a particular place in the school, ask for it,
don’t pretend. Once it’s your first time of being to the School, whoever
sees you would know, you can’t hide it. Just look for good and innocent
looking student (although appearance can be deceptive) and ask for what
you want. UNN students are friendly and generous; there’ll always be
somebody ready to help.
4a) Accommodation:
In the past, the
school provided accommodation for Post UME candidates who are required
to pay N500 for the accommodation, and I believe same will be
applicable this year. If you prefer a private accommodation, there are
few hotels and lodgings in Nsukka, some of which are CEC (the school
owned lodging), Grace manor hotels, New & Old Hotel Carolina
(outside, but close to the school), Milipat, Conis hotel. These few
hotels & lodgings will surely be in hot demands. If you plan on
staying with a friend, make sure you contact him or her ahead of time.
However, most accommodation problems are been mitigated by the different
campus fellowship bodies who will always be available with their buses,
helping stranded candidates get an accommodation, and locate their
different locations. Though you may have to leave your own faith or
fellowship when you are finally admitted into the University as you‘ll
get constant SMSs, calls, visits, and pestering to join their
fellowship.
b) Don’t worry about what to
eat
Yes, it’s funny but
I know some mummy pikins will actually be thinking about this.
There is a variety of food to eat in Nsukka, the most popular being
OKPA, a popular pudding eaten and enjoyed by many in Enugu state. It’s
eaten like peanuts here, and I bet you‘ll enjoy it (although some of
them can be REALLY pepperish). There are also other native Nsukka foods
like aghara agha Ji, aghara agha ede, aghara agha oka. Don’t ask me how
they taste, just taste and see for yourself, lol. You‘ll also get the
usual general foods you see in other parts of the country.
Also you should eat
well on the day of the exam. Normally candidates are checked into the
exam hall at about 8:00am for an exam that will eventually start at
about 1:00pm as UNN post ume exam question papers are only printed once
all the candidates sitting for the exam are checked into their
designated halls and the printing takes a couple of hours.
5) Come with all the
requirements
You are required to bring the
following for the screening exercise:
(i) A
copy of ONLINE form duly completed, bearing the passport-sized
photograph.
(ii) 2012/2013
JAMB slip
(iii) HB
Pencil and Eraser.
Do not go to the exam halls with your
mobile phone as you‘ll be forced to drop it outside the hall, and who
knows what will happen to it before you could come out to pick it.
Information on the halls for the screening will be made available at the
P.R.O. office in the campus and will also be available on this website a
day before the exam.
6) Come for the exam prepared
It’s almost
impossible to prepare too much. Read extensively and within the JAMB
curriculum. In the battle field, no enemy is less important. Do not look
down on any question during the exam. Attack each of them like a
soldier that is fighting with his last breath. However, DO NOT CHEAT! DO
NOT INVOLVE YOUR SELF IN EXAM MALPRACTICE, UNN does not tolerate that.
It’s a serious offence here!
7) Have an Alternative Phone
Number Other than MTN
It is important
that you have an alternative phone number other than MTN with which you
can contact whoever you‘ll stay with when you come to the school or with
which you can be contacted easily as history has shown that MTN network
in Nsukka most times go down whenever there is a big event like the
post UME especially in the evenings.
8) Beware of scammers
You have to be very careful ‘cos there
will be wolves in sheep’s clothing. These fraudsters, who of course are
not bonafide students of the University will be targeting gullible
Post Ume candidates with offers of Admission runs,
Accommodation (both free and paid), especially to Post ume girls. Don’t
ask me why they prefer offering the accommodation to girls ‘cos I don’t
know. They will always come as friends. You just have to be wise
9) You are secured!!
Once you are inside the University of
Nigeria, your security is guaranteed. The university has a vibrant
security department with a rapid response unit. You don’t have
to panic. So whenever you find yourself in trouble, just raise an alarm
and be sure you‘ll get a rapid response.
10) Get A Glimpse of How the
questions look like
The last but not the
least, many students will want to know how the UNN post Ume questions
look like by getting a past question. It is very important!! And of
course there is no compiled past question that has detailed step by step
solutions.This info was gotten from unn-edu.info
