Statistics is offered at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). This page sets out the O’Level credits for UTME candidates, the JAMB subject combination, the Direct Entry route and the JAMB score.

UNILAG is a federal government research university in Lagos State, in south western Nigeria. It remains among the most competitive institutions in the country for admissions, and holds one of the largest student populations of any Nigerian university.
Mathematics is the only subject compulsory throughout. It is a named O’Level credit, a named JAMB paper, and it heads the Direct Entry requirement.
The remaining places draw on two overlapping subject pools, which makes it straightforward to build a profile that satisfies both the O’Level and UTME rules at once.
