Babcock University

Babcock University which is a private Christian co-educational university owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Nigeria. Located in Ilishan-Remo, off the Sagamu-Benin Expressway, Ogun State, the university sits equidistant between Lagos and Ibadan in South-West Nigeria. Formally inaugurated on 20th April 1999, Babcock was one of the first three private universities accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC) in Nigeria. With over 12,000 students, more than 20,000 alumni worldwide, and 8 colleges offering over 50 undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, Babcock is consistently ranked among the top 5 universities in Nigeria. It is recognised as the 2nd most efficient university in Nigeria according to NUC efficiency rankings, and over 90% of its graduates are employed within one year of graduation. The university is named after David Caldwell Babcock, an American Seventh-day Adventist missionary who pioneered the work of the SDA Church in Nigeria in 1914. The current Vice-Chancellor is Professor Ademola Tayo.

History of the Institution

The story of Babcock University stretches back to 1959, when seven pioneer students cleared a site in Ilishan-Remo to begin what would become a historic institution. The university traces its origins to the Adventist College of West Africa (ACWA), formally established in September 1959 with those seven students, who were initially hosted at the home of Chief Olufemi Okulaja. It was the realisation of the missionary efforts of David Caldwell Babcock, who arrived in Nigeria in 1914 and pioneered the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the country.

In 1975, ACWA was renamed the Adventist Seminary of West Africa (ASWA), broadening its academic scope and establishing affiliations with Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan, USA, which enabled it to award degrees. In the early 1990s, the institution changed its name to Babcock College and secured an affiliation with the University of Ibadan (UI) to widen its reach within Nigeria’s formal education system.

The pivotal turning point came in 1999, when a delegation from the National Universities Commission (NUC) granted the institution full university accreditation, making it one of the first three private universities to be officially recognised in Nigeria. The university was formally inaugurated on 20th April 1999. Its first batch of 1,006 students arrived on 13th September 1999, and the Matriculation Ceremony was presided over by Pastor and Professor Jan Paulsen — then President of the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church from Washington D.C., USA — on 28th January 2000.

The university commenced academic activities with three pioneer faculties — Education and Humanities, Management and Social Sciences, and Science and Technology — with eleven departments. The School of Law and Security Studies later became the fourth school. A Postgraduate School was established in 2010. The Benjamin S. Carson (Snr.) School of Medicine was established in 2012, with its first set of graduates inducted into the medical profession in 2017. The 7th graduation ceremony on 7th June 2009 marked both the 50th anniversary of the institution and its 10th anniversary as a university.

Today, Babcock University operates across two campuses: the main campus at Ilishan-Remo (housing all non-legal schools, the Babcock University Teaching Hospital, administrative centres, the postgraduate school, a state-of-the-art sports complex, and student accommodation halls), and a law campus in Iperu-Remo housing the School of Law and Security Studies. Among its notable achievements are pioneering arthroscopic ligament construction in Nigeria and hosting the first SDA-owned medical school in West Africa.

Notice Board

UNIDEL Notice to Admitted Students Without JAMB Admission Letters

The University of Delta (UNIDEL), Agbor, Delta State, has directed all admitted students who are yet to obtain their Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) admission letters for the 2026/2027 academic session to visit the university’s Admissions Office on Tuesday, 13 October 2026.

The university stated that payment of the acceptance fee alone does not complete the admission process, as all admitted candidates must obtain their JAMB admission letters to finalise their admission. The directive is intended to help affected students resolve outstanding issues preventing the issuance of their letters.

According to the university, the delays may result from failure to change to the offered course on JAMB CAPS, deficiencies in O’Level results, failure to meet JAMB admission requirements or failure to upload O’Level results to the JAMB portal. Candidates affected by any of these issues are required to report to the Admissions Office to resolve them.

All concerned students are advised to treat the notice as urgent and ensure their admission details and requirements are properly addressed. The university warned that failure to resolve the outstanding issues promptly could jeopardise the completion of their admission process. The circular was signed by the Registrar, Dr (Mrs) Esther Akpojuvie.

UNIDEL Project Binding Deadline 2025/2026

The University of Delta (UNIDEL), Agbor, Delta State, has announced the deadline for project binding for all final-year students of the 2025/2026 academic session. The notice was contained in a circular issued by the Office of the Registrar on 2 October 2026.

According to the circular titled “Deadline for Project Binding”, the university has fixed Friday, 16 October 2026, as the final date for project binding. The announcement follows the closure of submissions for plagiarism checking, clearance and the issuance of reports.

Final-year students have been advised to submit their projects for binding as early as possible to avoid a last-minute rush and ensure compliance with the deadline. Students are encouraged to complete the process promptly rather than wait until the closing date.

The circular, referenced UNIDEL/REG/CIR/VOL.I/10/26/001, was signed by R. T. Omafuagbarho, Senior Assistant Registrar in the Registrar’s Office, on behalf of the Registrar. All concerned students are urged to take note of the deadline and comply accordingly.

UNIDEL Acceptance Fee and Documentation 2026/2027

The University of Delta (UNIDEL) has directed all newly admitted candidates to complete their admission processes within one week, from Tuesday, 29 September to Tuesday, 6 October 2026.

Newly admitted candidates are required to pay the prescribed acceptance fee within the stipulated period and present themselves for Faculty Documentation to complete the necessary documentation process.

The university warned that candidates who fail to pay the acceptance fee and/or complete their faculty documentation within the specified period may forfeit their admission. Such admissions may be withdrawn and offered to other qualified candidates.

Candidates are therefore advised to treat the notice as urgent and ensure that all required admission processes are completed on or before Tuesday, 6 October 2026.

Kaduna State College of Education (KSCOE)

Schools

Kaduna State College of Education, Gidan Waya – KSCOE

Kaduna State College of Education, Gidan Waya widely known as KSCOE, KSCOE Gidan Waya, or COEKC is a state government-owned College of Education located in Gidan Waya, near Kafanchan, Jema’a Local Government Area, Kaduna State, North-West Nigeria. Established in 1977 as the Advanced Teachers’ College, the institution is affiliated with Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria for its degree programmes. The college is funded and managed by the Kaduna State Government and aims to train students for roles in the education sphere in Nigeria, ranging from teaching to counselling to school management. It has no religious affiliation and admits students irrespective of their cultural background. As of 2022, the College ran more than 29 NCE academic programmes, in addition to undergraduate degree, IJMB, diploma, and certificate programmes. The current Provost is Aku Ambi.

History of the Institution

The College gained autonomy and was no longer directly administered by the State Ministry of Education. It was affiliated to Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria in 1980. By 1988, the College began the process of movement to its permanent site at Gidan Waya. At present, 80% of the movement has been completed. The Technical and Fine and Applied Arts departments are still at the temporary site in Kafanchan.

In 1998, its name was changed from Advanced Teachers’ College (ATC) to College of Education (COE). Consequent upon the change of name of the institution, the title of the head was changed from Principal to Provost. To provide access to education and training to more people to enable them to qualify for entry into the regular NCE programme and to broaden the scope of training for the beneficiaries from the catchment area, the College introduced Diploma and Certificate programmes in 1998 and IJMB programme in 1999.

Kafanchan Teachers’ College, formerly known as College of Mary Immaculate, became the second campus in 1978. This campus not only has the Technical and Fine and Applied Arts departments, but also served as the original operational base for the College before the movement to Gidan Waya.

The Department of Technical and Commercial Education, now Business Education, came into existence in 1980 on the second campus. The College operated a crash programme which saw three batches of Nigerian Certificate in Education (NCE) students graduating in two years each. This ended in June 1981.

The college has benefited extensively from TETFund annual and special interventions. The Directorate of Undergraduate Studies manages degree programmes affiliated with ABU Zaria, and in February 2026, the Directorate issued important notices to undergraduate students regarding school fees payment deadlines, screening, and collection of examination cards for the 2025/2026 academic session.

College of Agriculture, Science and Technology, Lafia – COAST

College of Agriculture, Science and Technology, Lafia (COAST), formerly known as College of Agriculture, Lafia, is a state-owned technical institution in Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. The college has a long history of training manpower in agriculture and has expanded its academic mandate to include applied sciences, management and engineering technology. Its programmes are offered at National Diploma (ND), Higher National Diploma (HND) and preparatory levels.

The institution traces its history to 1977, when it was established as a School of Agriculture under the then Plateau State Government. It was upgraded to a College of Agriculture in 1987 and, following the creation of Nasarawa State in 1996, became the Nasarawa State College of Agriculture, Lafia. The college has subsequently adopted the broader name College of Agriculture, Science and Technology, Lafia to reflect its expanded academic mandate.

Today, COAST Lafia operates seven schools covering agriculture, animal science and fisheries, applied sciences, engineering, environmental technology, management technology, home economics and hospitality management, together with general studies. The college describes its mission as promoting technical knowledge and entrepreneurial education through teaching, research and strategic partnerships for self-reliance.

History of the Institution

College of Agriculture, Science and Technology, Lafia was established in 1977 as a School of Agriculture under the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources of the then Plateau State Government. Its original purpose was to train agricultural assistants and other middle-cadre manpower needed for agricultural development.

At the time, the institution offered two-year training programmes and awarded Diploma certificates in areas such as General Agriculture and Home Economics. Graduates were trained to support agricultural researchers, work as field assistants and participate in agricultural extension activities.

In 1987, the school was elevated to the status of a College of Agriculture through Edict No. 13 of the then Plateau State Government. This development enabled the institution to expand into National Diploma and Higher National Diploma education and brought its technical programmes within the regulatory framework associated with the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).

The creation of Nasarawa State in October 1996 led to another change in the institution’s legal identity. Its enabling law was re-enacted as Edict No. 15 of 1996, establishing it as the Nasarawa State College of Agriculture, Lafia. Over time, its academic mandate broadened beyond conventional agricultural training to include science, engineering and technology programmes.

The college now describes itself as a polytechnic with a diversified operational framework connecting agriculture with science and engineering. It has seven schools and 24 academic departments, providing a wider range of technical and vocational training than the institution offered during its early years.

Location

College of Agriculture, Science and Technology, Lafia is located in Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria.

The official contact page gives the institutional address as:

P.M.B. 33, Jos Road, Opp. Airport Road, Ombi 2, Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria.

The college’s Lafia location places it within the Nasarawa State capital and provides access to a range of agricultural, scientific and technical learning facilities.

Preparatory Programme

Pre-ND Science and Technology

The college’s schools and departments cover areas including Home Economics and Hospitality Management, Management Technology, Applied Sciences and Technology, Agronomy and Environmental Management, Animal Science and Fisheries Technology, Engineering and Environmental Technology, and General Studies.

Admission Requirements

Admission requirements at COAST Lafia vary according to the level and programme being applied for.

ND Admission Requirements

For the 2026/2027 admission exercise, candidates seeking admission into the ND programmes were required to participate in the relevant UTME process and satisfy the college’s programme-specific requirements. Candidates who did not originally select the college were advised to effect a change of institution or course where applicable.

Applicants should possess the relevant O’Level credits for their chosen programme. The exact subject combination can differ between programmes, particularly for engineering, science, agricultural and management courses.

Candidates should therefore check the specific requirements attached to their intended programme before submitting an application rather than relying on a general list of subjects.

HND Admission Requirements

HND applicants are expected to possess a relevant National Diploma qualification and satisfy the entry requirements for the particular HND programme.

The college’s 2026/2027 admission notice included HND programmes such as Agribusiness Management, Agricultural Extension and Management, Crop Production Technology, Pest Management Technology, Horticulture and Landscape Technology, Animal Health Technology, Animal Production Technology, Fisheries Technology, Home and Rural Economics and Agricultural/Bio-Environmental Engineering-related training.

Candidates should confirm the required ND grade, industrial training experience and other departmental conditions before applying.

Pre-ND Admission Requirements

The 2026/2027 Pre-ND Science and Technology programme was open to candidates with at least four relevant credit passes from not more than two sittings.

The published requirements included English Language and Mathematics, together with two other relevant subjects selected from areas such as Chemistry, Biology, Agricultural Science, Food and Nutrition, Home Management, Geography and Economics.

School Fees

A complete and current 2026/2027 school-fee schedule covering all COAST Lafia programmes was not found on the official website during this review.

For accuracy, specific tuition or total-school-fee figures from unofficial websites have not been presented as official charges. Fees may vary according to programme, level and applicable institutional charges.

Prospective students should confirm the current fee schedule through the college or its official admission channels before making payment.

Cut-Off Mark

The 2026/2027 admission information confirms that UTME is part of the admission route for applicable ND programmes. However, the college’s official website does not clearly publish a single current departmental cut-off table covering all programmes.

Some third-party sources report 150 as the general 2026/2027 JAMB minimum, while other reports have referred to lower college-specific thresholds in particular admission notices. Because these figures are not presented consistently, candidates should confirm the applicable score for their intended programme directly with COAST Lafia before relying on it.

A candidate meeting a minimum UTME score should also remember that admission depends on satisfying the other requirements for the selected programme.

Hostel / Accommodation

The college’s official website provides information about its academic facilities and institutional activities, but a current 2026/2027 hostel fee and detailed accommodation schedule were not clearly published on the pages reviewed.

Students who require accommodation should contact the college to confirm whether hostel spaces are available, the applicable charges and the procedure for securing accommodation for the academic session.

Notable Alumni

The official college website does not provide a reliable list of notable alumni with sufficient biographical information for publication.

Rather than attaching names to this section without verification, EducationNGR has left out unconfirmed alumni claims. The college itself states that its graduates have gone into agriculture, engineering, business, public service, teaching and other areas of professional activity.

History of the Institution

College of Nursing Sciences, Umulogho Obowo developed around the nursing training activities associated with Our Lady of Mercy Hospital in Umulogho, Obowo, Imo State.

The institution’s present identity reflects its development from a hospital-based nursing training establishment into a College of Nursing Sciences offering structured nursing and midwifery education. The college describes itself as a Catholic institution owned by the Catholic Diocese of Okigwe and says it was established in response to the need for qualified nursing professionals in Imo State and beyond.

The college’s training model combines theoretical nursing education with clinical experience. This is particularly important for professional nursing programmes because students must develop practical skills alongside their classroom knowledge.

Its regulatory standing has also developed over time. NMCN records show that the Nursing and Midwifery programmes at the Umulogho institution received full accreditation in June 2023.

Location

College of Nursing Sciences, Umulogho Obowo is located in Umulogho, Obowo Local Government Area, Imo State, Nigeria.

For the 2026/2027 academic session, the college also advertised an ND Nursing Programme. Candidates interested in this pathway should confirm its current status, structure and entry route directly with the college before applying, particularly because the college’s main programme page currently presents Basic General Nursing and Basic Midwifery as its core programmes.

Admission requirements depend on the particular programme and academic session. Applicants should always confirm the requirements for the programme they intend to study before obtaining an admission form.

Basic General Nursing

The college’s nursing training route requires candidates to possess the relevant secondary-school qualifications. The commonly stated requirements include five credit passes in relevant subjects, including:

Benue State College of Health Sciences and Technology, Agasha – BSCHTA

Benue State College of Health Sciences and Technology, Agasha (BSCHTA) is a state-owned health training institution located in Agasha, Benue State, Nigeria. The college focuses on training students in community health, environmental health, medical laboratory science, pharmacy technology, public health and other health-related fields. Its academic structure currently includes departments such as Community Health, Environmental Health, Medical Laboratory Science, Pharmacy Technician, Public Health, Epidemiology and Disease Control, Basic Science and General Studies.

The institution was established by the Benue State Government in 1992 following the creation of Kogi State and the consequent loss of Benue’s former School of Health Technology. It initially operated temporarily at the State School of Nursing campus in Makurdi before moving to its permanent site in Agasha in September 2006. The college has since developed facilities for classroom teaching, laboratory work, examinations, computing, library services and practical health training.

For prospective students, the college provides an online application and admission portal through which applicants can submit applications and check admission-related information. The 2026/2027 admission exercise included ND, HND and selected top-up programmes, with different application requirements depending on the programme.

History of the Institution

Benue State College of Health Sciences and Technology, Agasha was established in 1992 by the Benue State Government. The establishment followed the creation of Kogi State in 1991, after which Benue State lost its former School of Health Technology as part of the sharing of assets between the two states.

The institution did not immediately begin operations at its present location. It initially operated from the State School of Nursing campus in Makurdi before relocating to its permanent campus at Agasha in September 2006.

According to the college, it began with a modest academic structure but has grown to include eight academic departments. Its stated mandate is centred on education, research and practice in primary healthcare, with emphasis on disease prevention, health promotion and community health development.

The college’s present academic structure reflects this focus, with programmes covering community health, environmental health, public health, epidemiology, medical laboratory training and pharmacy technician education.

Location

Benue State College of Health Sciences and Technology is located in Agasha, Benue State, Nigeria.

The institution’s official contact address is:

P.M.B. 102093, Agasha, Benue State, Nigeria.

Its location outside Makurdi gives the college a campus environment specifically focused on health sciences and technical training. The college states that its permanent site has facilities including classrooms, laboratories, examination halls, computer laboratories, internet facilities and a library.

List of Programmes Offered by Benue State College of Health Sciences and Technology, Agasha

The programmes listed for the college’s 2026/2027 admission exercise include the following:

National Diploma Programmes

National Diploma in Community Health
National Diploma in Environmental Health Technology
National Diploma in Public Health Technology
National Diploma in Epidemiology and Disease Control
National Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology
National Diploma in Orthopaedic Cast Technology
National Diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics
National Diploma in Health Education and Promotion

Other Professional and Advanced Programmes

Certified Pharmacy Technician
Higher National Diploma in Community Health Technology
Higher National Diploma in Environmental Health Technology
Top-up Programme for ND, HND and BSc Community Health

The 2026/2027 admission information identifies these programmes as part of the college’s admission offerings. The official website also provides individual academic information for areas including Community Health, Public Health, Medical Laboratory Science and Pharmacy Technician training.

Admission Requirements

Admission requirements vary according to the programme, but the college’s general admission guidelines provide a useful starting point for prospective applicants.

General Requirements

For admission into the college, candidates are generally expected to:

Be at least 18 years old by September of the year of admission.
Possess the required O’Level credits for the intended programme.
Have five relevant credit passes, generally including English Language, Mathematics, Biology or Health Science, Chemistry and Physics.
Sit for and pass the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) where required.
Participate in the aptitude test conducted by the college.
Present original academic certificates for verification after being offered admission.
Pay the prescribed school charges and complete student registration after admission.

For the 2026/2027 admission exercise, candidates applying for the first group of ND programmes were required to register for the relevant UTME and select Benue State College of Health Sciences and Technology, Agasha as their institution. HND and top-up applicants were listed separately from the UTME-dependent programmes.

O’Level Requirements

The college generally requires five relevant credit passes in WAEC, NECO, GCE or NABTEB, depending on the programme. For several of its health-related programmes, the required subjects are English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, normally at not more than two sittings.

Applicants should still check the requirements attached to their specific programme before submitting an application because professional health programmes can have additional regulatory or departmental conditions.

School Fees

The college does not currently publish a complete, programme-by-programme 2026/2027 school-fee schedule on the official pages reviewed for this profile. For that reason, a specific tuition figure should not be presented as the current official fee without confirmation from the college.

The Benue State Government’s 2026 budget documents, however, show that the college collects school, tuition, registration and examination-related fees as part of its internally generated revenue.

Prospective students should therefore confirm the current institutional charges through the college before making payment. This is particularly important because fees may differ according to programme, level and other applicable charges.

Cut-Off Mark

A single current institutional cut-off mark for all programmes has not been clearly published on the college’s official website.

The college’s general admission guidelines state that candidates for applicable programmes must sit for and pass UTME, while the 2026/2027 admission information specifies UTME participation and choice of the college for the first group of ND programmes.

Candidates should therefore avoid relying on an unofficial fixed cut-off figure without checking the admission requirements for the particular programme and academic session.

Hostel / Accommodation
