FG announces release of admissions into federal unity colleges

The Federal Government has officially announced the release of admissions into Federal Unity Colleges across the country.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Federal Ministry of Education confirmed the development, with the announcement signed by the ministry’s spokesperson, Boriowo Folasade.

According to the ministry, the initiative was championed by the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, who emphasized that the admission process is now fully automated. He noted that this move ensures transparency and fairness while also preventing the overstretching of facilities in the schools by strictly adhering to their approved capacities.

The statement quoted the Minister as saying, “This reform guarantees fairness, operational efficiency, and sustained quality in our Federal Unity Colleges.”

The statement added, “The current admission exercise covers 80 conventional Federal Unity Colleges (Junior Secondary School 1), while admission into the remaining 42 Federal Technical Colleges under the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme will be released in due course.”

The statement also added that, according to the Director of Senior Secondary Education in the Ministry, Hajia Binta Abdulkadri, the automation is a game-changer.

“The new system ensures that admission aligns with each school’s capacity, creating a better learning environment for students.

“This reform is expected to streamline the admission process, improve accountability, and uphold the highest educational standards across Federal Unity Colleges nationwide.

“Parents, guardians, and students are advised to check admission results on the Ministry’s official website: www.education.gov.ng.

“The Federal Ministry of Education remains committed to providing quality education within a safe, conducive learning environment for all Nigerian children,” it stated.
