Joseph Ayo Babalola University, JABU
Joseph Ayo Babalola University – JABU

Joseph Ayo Babalola University  widely known as JABU  is a private Christian university located in Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State, South-West Nigeria. Established in 2006 by the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), JABU was named after Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola — the founding father of the CAC and one of Nigeria’s most revered Christian revivalists. The university is fully accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and holds the notable distinction of being rated the First Entrepreneurial University in Nigeria — entrepreneurship education is embedded in all academic programmes, and every student must acquire at least one skill from the Skills Acquisition Centre before graduation. JABU is a member of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN), the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), and the Association of African Business Schools (AABS). The university offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across six colleges covering Agriculture, Environmental Sciences, Health Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences, Law, and Management Sciences. The current Vice-Chancellor leads the institution in its mission of faith-based, values-driven, entrepreneurial education. Recently, JABU Law graduates made history as the first students to produce silk lawyers’ wigs in Nigeria — a testament to the university’s entrepreneurial culture.

History of the Institution

Joseph Ayo Babalola University was established in 2006 by the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), one of Nigeria’s largest and oldest Pentecostal denominations. The university is named after Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola (1904 — 1959), the founding father of the CAC and a celebrated figure in Nigerian Christian history, known for his extraordinary revival missions and miraculous healings across Nigeria and West Africa in the 1930s.

From its founding, JABU distinguished itself by integrating entrepreneurship education into every academic programme — a model that earned it the designation of Nigeria’s first entrepreneurial university. This approach ensures that graduates are not only academically qualified but are also equipped with practical, market-ready skills. Every student must complete a skills acquisition programme at the university’s Skills Acquisition Centre, gaining a tangible vocational or entrepreneurial competency alongside their degree.

Over its nearly two decades of operation, JABU has grown steadily — expanding its colleges, strengthening postgraduate programmes, and building modern academic infrastructure in the serene environment of Ikeji-Arakeji along the Ilesa-Akure Road in Osun State. In a recent milestone, the Governing Council announced the appointment of Professor Eludire as the first Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the institution, reflecting continued institutional growth and maturity. JABU’s academic calendar runs two semesters per academic year.

Adventist College of Nursing Sciences
Adventist College of Nursing Sciences, Jengre – ACONSJ

Adventist College of Nursing Sciences, Jengre  widely known as ACONSJ  is a private Christian nursing college nestled in the serene and beautiful savanna valley immediately below the rolling escarpment hills that form the Plateau Highlands at Jengre, Bassa Local Government Area, Plateau State, North-Central Nigeria. The college is a member of the worldwide network of over 80 nursing training institutions — four of which are in Nigeria — owned and operated by the Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) Church to provide holistic health care education. ACONSJ was issued its charter licence (accreditation) by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) on 30th October 2023, and opened its gates on 3rd December 2023 to admit 95 eager pioneer students. It is one of the newest nursing colleges in Nigeria and is notable for its low fees compared to other nursing schools in Nigeria, high success rate in NMCN external examinations, and its strong spiritual, academic, and professional values. The college’s motto is Excellence, Service, Godliness. The pioneer Provost is Elder Emmanuel Adetunji Oyedele.

History of the Institution

The history of Adventist College of Nursing Sciences, Jengre is one of perseverance, sacrifice, and faith over nearly five decades. The story begins in 1975, when the Northern Europe-West Africa Division of the SDA Church posted Nursing Sister Elfrida Yvonne Eurick from the Adventist School of Nursing Kwahu, Ghana, to SDA Hospital Jengre to establish a School of Nursing. However, the Federal Military Government of Nigeria nationalised voluntary agency schools and hospitals all over the country including Jengre, which was taken over in October 1976.

Undaunted, Sister Eurick — who was distinguished as the best nurse tutor in Kwahu — remained in Jengre for years, hoping things would change. While waiting, she and Dr. (Mrs) Inger Karlman pioneered the concept of rural primary health care clinics, which was mostly unknown in Nigeria at that time. Three months after the government takeover, they opened the first clinic at Ramin Kura, Kaduna State on 1st January 1977, followed by others at Warsa and Ramin Kura. Sister Eurick continued to invest in training local volunteer health workers and young people in various fields, including two individuals she would never see graduate: Yohanna U. Harry, whom she helped to teachers’ training college, and Manoah Yohanna, whom she was sponsoring to train as a medical doctor.

Sister Eurick met her untimely end in a motor accident on Monday, 30th January 1984. Her legacy, however, lived on powerfully. Harry joined the gospel ministry and eventually became the President of the Northern Nigeria Conference of the SDA Church. Manoah, whose medical education was truncated by Sister Eurick’s death, continued to champion the vision. Together, Harry and Manoah resolved to actualize Sister Eurick’s dream of establishing a College of Nursing in Jengre.

Subsequent medical directors of Jengre SDA Hospital — notably Dr. Akin Obisanya and Dr. Randell Skau — also kept striving towards this goal. When the college was eventually granted NMCN accreditation on 30th October 2023, it opened its doors on 3rd December 2023. Pastor Harry became the pioneer Chairman of the Governing Board and Manoah Yohanna became the pioneer Registrar. Miss Sheerah Bamnas Laiya was the first student to enrol. From his base in the United States, Dr. Skau donated the funds to lay the foundation of a female students’ hostel, while Dr. Obisanya contributed an equipped vocational training centre for entrepreneurship and innovation education.

NBTE accreditation (for ND and HND programmes) was underway and expected to be completed by October 2025, which will enable ACONSJ to offer ND and HND nursing training in addition to its current NMCN-accredited programmes.

Harry and Manoah Yohanna — eventually actualised her vision nearly 50 years later when the college opened in December 2023.

What programmes does ACONSJ offer? ACONSJ offers the Basic Nursing Programme (3 years, leading to RN), the Basic Midwifery Programme (3 years, leading to RM), the Post Basic Nursing Programme (2 years), and the ND/HND General Nursing Programme. NBTE accreditation for ND/HND was being processed as at 2025.

How much are ACONSJ school fees? ACONSJ prides itself on low fees compared to other nursing schools in Nigeria. The application form fee was ₦10,000 for the 2024/2025 session. Please see the latest news below or contact the college at 0803 826 6157 or acnsjengre@gmail.com for the most current tuition fees.

Does ACONSJ conduct a nursing entrance examination? Yes. All candidates for the Basic Nursing and Basic Midwifery programmes must sit and pass the ACONSJ Entrance Examination. Only those who pass the exam are called for interview, and only those who pass the interview are offered admission.

What is the Seventh-Day Adventist School of Nursing cut-off mark? For ACONSJ’s Basic Nursing and Midwifery programmes, the cut-off is determined by performance in the college’s own entrance examination — JAMB is not the primary admission criterion. For the ND/HND programme, the JAMB minimum is 100 — 120. Contact the college for current specific cut-off requirements.

What is Jibape Memorial College of Nursing? Jibape Memorial College of Nursing is a separate nursing institution — not the same as ACONSJ. If you are looking for Jibape Memorial College of Nursing, please search for it specifically.

Federal University Lokoja - FULOKOJA
Federal University Lokoja – FULOKOJA

Federal University Lokoja (FULokoja) is a federal government-owned university located in Lokoja, Kogi State, Nigeria. The university was established in 2011 and commenced academic activities in the 2012/2013 academic session with two faculties and 11 academic programmes.

The university’s official admission requirements page provides programme-specific UTME, O’Level and Direct Entry requirements.

Admission Forms / Requirements 

FULOKOJA Post-UTME/DE Admission Form 2026/2027

Federal University Lokoja (FULOKOJA) has commenced its 2026/2027 Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening exercise for candidates seeking undergraduate admission. The screening portal opened on Tuesday, 9 June 2026, and applicants are required to use their valid 2026 JAMB registration numbers to access the FULOKOJA Post-UTME Screening Portal.

UTME candidates must have scored at least 160 in the 2026 UTME, selected FULOKOJA as their first-choice institution, and be at least 16 years old by 30 September 2026. Direct Entry candidates must have applied through JAMB. Applicants are also required to upload their O’Level results on the JAMB portal before completing the screening process. Candidates with awaiting results may begin registration but must complete the upload before participating in the online screening.

Applicants are required to update their biodata and, where applicable, previous academic records, generate a Remita invoice and pay the ₦2,000 Post-UTME screening fee, then select their preferred programme and provide the required O’Level details. Candidates must have at least five relevant O’Level credit passes in not more than two sittings, while Nursing Science, Medical Laboratory Science, Law and Pharmaceutical Science require the five relevant credits in one sitting. A credit in English Language is required for all programmes. Full requirements are available on the FULOKOJA admission requirements page.

The FULOKOJA Post-UTME/DE screening exercise will close by midnight on Friday, 2 October 2026. Candidates are advised to complete their registration, upload their O’Level results and participate in the screening before the deadline. The University also warned that false or withheld information may lead to disqualification, and participation in the screening exercise does not automatically guarantee admission.

School Fees

FULokoja school fees vary according to the student’s programme, level and applicable university charges. Candidates should rely on the university’s official fee schedule or student portal when making payments rather than unofficial figures circulating online.

This is particularly important for newly admitted students because the amount payable by a fresher may include charges that are different from those paid by returning students.

Students should also distinguish between school fees, acceptance fees and other university charges. Before making any payment, confirm the exact amount and approved payment procedure through the university’s official channels.

Please check the school website or latest news below for the newest school-fee update.

Cut-Off Mark

For the 2026/2027 admission exercise, Federal University Lokoja announced a minimum UTME score of 160 for candidates eligible to participate in the Post-UTME screening exercise.

However, meeting the minimum UTME score does not automatically mean that a candidate will be admitted. FULokoja states that admission consideration is subject to other admission requirements and the university’s admission process. Programme-specific requirements may also be higher or more restrictive than the general eligibility requirement.

Candidates should therefore check the requirements for their chosen course instead of treating 160 as an automatic admission score.

Please check the school website or latest news below for the newest cut-off mark update.

Hostel / Accommodation

Students admitted to FULokoja may need to consider university accommodation and private accommodation options around Lokoja when planning for resumption.

Availability of university accommodation can depend on the student’s status, available spaces and the arrangements announced by the institution for a particular academic session. Students should therefore confirm hostel availability, application procedures and applicable charges through official university notices before making accommodation plans.

For students who do not secure university accommodation, Lokoja has private accommodation options around areas close to the university campuses. However, students should inspect accommodation personally and consider factors such as distance, transportation, security, water supply and electricity before paying for a room.

Please check the school website or latest news below for the newest accommodation update.
