“I humbly request for your kind consideration for admission placement of the underlisted applicants who are my constituents and citizens of Federal Republic of Nigeria for admission in your institution to further their academic career,” the letter reads. The lawmaker emphasised that writing to the university is not a criminal act, clarifying that he made a “passionate appeal” rather than a demand.“Is it a crime that my constituent reached to me to appeal for the students to be put on the for vice-chancellor’s discretional list? University does admission based on merit and my letter was a passionate appeal, not a demand. It is left to the university to decide,” Nwoye said.“There is no regret that I made that appeal. None of them is from my town.
