@hayhaywhy tweeted:

"But the terms and conditions though.
"I know you're eager to help students who excelled in JAMB, and that's truly commendable! However, I want to caution you about the terms and conditions you're setting. The score and restricting the pry and sec to Adegoke and IHS might not work."
