Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti – FEDPOLYADO

Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti, popularly known as Adopoly or FedPoly Ado  is a Federal Government-owned polytechnic located in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. Established in 1977, it is one of Nigeria’s leading second-generation federal polytechnics, offering National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes across engineering, science, business, environmental studies, and agriculture.

Accredited by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), the institution is widely respected in South-West Nigeria for its practical, industry-oriented training and its commitment to technological development. The current Rector is Engr. Dr. Temitope John Alake.

History of the Institution

Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti traces its origins to January 1977, when it was established as a College of Technology in Jos, Plateau State, with an initial intake of 350 National Diploma students. The following year, the institution was relocated to Akure, Ondo State, where it operated under the name Federal College of Technology, Akure. It was formally converted into a full polytechnic under Decree No. 33 of July 1979, which harmonised all Federal Government-owned polytechnics in Nigeria.

In 1982, the Federal Government established the Federal University of Technology at the Akure site, which necessitated the relocation of the polytechnic. The relocation to its permanent site in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State began in 1983 and was fully completed by 1986.

The institution has since grown significantly, expanding from 7 academic departments and 350 students at inception to over 10,000 students and approximately 2,000 staff across 29 academic departments in five schools. It also maintains collaborative academic partnerships with institutions including Adekunle Ajasin University (AAUA), Federal University of Technology Minna (FUT-Minna), Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), Aberystwyth University (UK), and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA).

JAMB 2026 UTME Examination Slip Printing @https://slipsprinting.jamb.gov.ng

he Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has opened examination slip printing for candidates registered for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

With the exam set to begin on 16 April 2026, early printing is essential. EducationNGR gathered that the slip contains key details such as the exam date, time, and venue—information candidates must confirm before the examination day.

Why The JAMB Exam Slip Matters

The UTME examination slip is a compulsory document for every candidate. It provides:

  • Exam date
  • Exam time
  • Exam centre address

These details help candidates plan properly and avoid last-minute confusion.

Without the slip, candidates will not be allowed into the exam hall. Missing the exam also means losing the opportunity entirely.

How Candidates Can Print The 2026 UTME Slip On A Phone

Candidates can access and print their slips using either the JAMB slip printing page or their personal JAMB portal.

Steps To Print The 2026 UTME Slip

  • Visit the official JAMB examination slip printing page @https://slipsprinting.jamb.gov.ng/main-examination

Another Way To Print Through The JAMB Portal

  • Go to the JAMB eFacility portal
  • Log in using your registered email and password
  • Click on “Print UTME main examination slip”
  • Download and print the slip

Rules Candidates Should Note

Candidates are advised to follow these guidelines strictly:

  • Do not take phones, wristwatches, or banned items into the exam hall
  • Bring a printed copy of your examination slip
  • Biometric verification (thumbprint) is required for entry
  • Candidates who miss the exam will not get another chance
  • Subject combinations cannot be changed at the exam centre
  • Visit your exam centre ahead of time to avoid confusion on the exam day

How Candidates Can Prepare For The 2026 JAMB UTME

Printing the slip is only one step; proper preparation remains important. Candidates should:

  • Create a reading timetable
  • Study using the official JAMB syllabus
  • Practise with past questions
  • Read recommended textbooks
  • Use CBT software to simulate the exam environment
  • Follow verified JAMB updates for new information

JAMB Warns Candidates About Score Inflation Claims

JAMB has cautioned candidates against fraudsters, especially on messaging platforms, who claim they can upgrade scores.

The board described such claims as false and criminal, warning that any candidate involved risks:

  • Cancellation of registration
  • Withholding of results

What Candidates Should Do Now

Candidates are advised to print their slips early, confirm all exam details, and prepare thoroughly for 16 April 2026.

That single document carries all the necessary information for the exam day, and delaying its printing could lead to avoidable issues.

Federal Governemnt of Nigeria FG
FG Launches Learner Identification Number (LIN) For Students Nationwide

The Federal Ministry of Education Nigeria has introduced a nationwide Learner Identification Number (LIN), a digital system designed to give every student a permanent academic identity across all levels of education.

The initiative aims to strengthen learning continuity, improve educational planning, and support timely interventions within the system. EducationNGR gathered that the rollout marks a significant shift towards data-driven school administration on a national scale.

What The Learner Identification Number Means

The Learner Identification Number assigns each student a unique and permanent academic identity.

This system will:

  • Track a learner’s academic journey from basic to higher education
  • Provide accurate and centralised student records
  • Support better policy planning and implementation

With a unified identity, education authorities can monitor progression and respond more effectively to emerging challenges.

What The Minister Said About The LIN Launch

The Honourable Minister of Education, Maruf Tunji Alausa, described the initiative as a major milestone aligned with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to the Minister:

  • The LIN initiative focuses on human capital development
  • It promotes technology-driven reforms in the education sector
  • It strengthens transparency and accountability in school administration

First Phase Of The Rollout

The initial phase of the rollout has already covered over 1.9 million candidates sitting for the 2026 examinations conducted by:

  • West African Examinations Council
  • National Examinations Council

This phase establishes an early nationwide database through major examination bodies, improving both examination integrity and student data management.

The LIN system is integrated with the Digitised National Education Management Information System (DNEMIS).

DNEMIS:

  • Maintains a national register of schools
  • Links students to verified institutional records
  • Creates a structured and reliable education database

This integration ensures consistency and accuracy in both learner and school data nationwide.

What The System Is Set To Improve

The Federal Ministry of Education highlighted several key benefits of the LIN system:

  • Improved examination security and reduced impersonation
  • Better tracking of out-of-school children and dropouts
  • Early identification of learning gaps
  • Faster and more effective government intervention

These improvements are expected to enhance overall education quality and accountability.

Next Step For Public And Private Schools

The Ministry has announced plans to expand the system across all public and private schools in Nigeria.

Stakeholders are encouraged to support full implementation as part of efforts to build:

  • A transparent education system
  • An inclusive learning environment
  • A reliable national education database

The government reaffirmed its commitment to modernising education through digital innovation and structured data systems.

JAMB CBT Centre
Print 2026 JAMB Mock Exam Slip Printing Portal @https://slipsprinting.jamb.gov.ng/mock-examination

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has opened the portal for the printing of 2026 Mock UTME slips from Monday, 23 March 2026. Candidates who registered for the mock examination can now access and print their slips to confirm their exam venue and time ahead of the test scheduled for Saturday, 28 March 2026.

The mock examination is designed to test the Computer-Based Test (CBT) system while also helping candidates become familiar with the exam environment before the main UTME.

How To Print The JAMB Mock Slip

JAMB has provided two official methods for candidates to check and print their mock examination slips.

Option 1: Through The Mock Slip Portal

Option 2: Through JAMB eFacility

  • Visit the JAMB eFacility portal
  • Log in using your email address and password
  • Access your dashboard
  • Locate and click the option to print your mock slip

What The Mock Slip Contains

The mock slip provides essential details required for the examination, including:

  • Examination venue
  • Date of the exam
  • Reporting time

Candidates are advised to carefully review this information, as it determines where and when they are expected to sit for the mock test.

JAMB Extends Mock Exam Duration

JAMB has announced that the 2026 Mock UTME will last for four hours, instead of the usual two hours. According to the board, this adjustment is aimed at giving candidates more time to familiarise themselves with the CBT system.

The examination will be conducted in two sessions:

  • 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
  • 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Candidates are expected to participate in both sessions consecutively. EducationNGR gathered that this extended format is part of JAMB’s strategy to improve candidates’ readiness for the main UTME.

Participation Is Mandatory

The JAMB Registrar, Is-haq Oloyede, has stated that participation in the mock examination is compulsory for all candidates who registered for it.

He emphasised that the mock has limited slots, and any candidate who fails to attend wastes an opportunity that could have been given to another interested applicant.

Candidates are therefore advised to make adequate preparations and ensure they attend the mock examination as scheduled.
