UNILORIN, which was established in 1975 as one of the second generation tertiary institutions in Nigeria has become so popular among admission seekers so much that over 100,000 candidates seek admission into the school every year.

One may say this feat is one of the reasons why the university prides itself as being better by far.

However, an international magazine, Economic Confidential, seems to know more about the school and in its 2016 reports, it  highlights five reasons, UNILORIN is Nigeria's most preferred university. Here are the five points.
