Essay Topic for UBA Essay Competition 2025

The theme for the 2025 edition is:

“Nigeria is characterised by diverse cultures, ethnicities, and religions. How can young Nigerians deploy diversity to build a united nation?”

The question is clear but heavy. It asks students to think about Nigeria’s rich cultural mix and share ways that young people can turn it into strength for unity, peace, and progress.

The UBA Foundation has put forward large grants to support the winners. The top three will walk away with the following:

  • First Prize: ₦10 million educational grant

  • Fill out the online application form.
  • Submit a handwritten essay not longer than 750 words.

How to Submit Application

Apply: IEWD Essay Competition 2025 for Nigerian Students

International E-Waste Day Essay Competition 2025 is now open for Nigerian secondary school students. Entries close on 30th September 2025. Read further for essay rules, prizes, and how to apply.

The International E-Waste Day 2025 will not pass quietly this year. As part of the global event, the E-Waste Producer Responsibility Organisation of Nigeria, better known as EPRON, along with partner bodies, has rolled out an essay competition for students.

It is an open call for both junior and senior secondary school learners across Nigeria. The aim is simple, though the task is weighty: to make young people think, write, and speak up on electronic waste and how to handle it responsibly.

About the IEWD Essay Competition

The organisers want more than just words on paper. They want essays that show a student’s real grasp of the problem, written in their own voice. The competition gives pupils a stage to put their thoughts out there, and in doing so, join a wider conversation about our environment.

Essay Requirements for IEWD Essay Competition

Each student must follow the rules closely:

  • Write in English only.
  • Submit just one entry.
  • Keep the essay within 750 words.

It is a test of discipline as much as of creativity. Too short, and the message may not land. Too long, and it breaks the rule.

Prizes in the IEWD Essay Competition 2025

The prizes are designed to reward effort and help education at the same time:

  • First Prize: A cash award plus a school support grant.
  • Second Prize: Tablet devices for study and learning.
  • Third Prize: Books and other educational materials.

These rewards are both encouragement and tools to keep students on their learning path.

Deadline and How to Apply

Entries must reach the organisers on or before 30 September 2025. Any essay sent after that date will not be looked at.

Students who wish to join can submit their essays through the official application form.

What This Means for Aspirants

For those aiming for Medicine and Surgery, the bar sits high at 71, while courses like Economics and Marketing sit lower, around the mid-thirties. It is a mixed bag, some doors swing open wide, others barely budge.

The numbers are more than figures, they decide who sits in lecture halls next year. For some students, it will be a dream come true. For others, a sign to try again. That is how the system works, sometimes harsh, sometimes fair.

RSU JAMB Cut Off Mark

The University has fixed the general JAMB cut-off mark at 190 points. Candidates who meet or cross this line are qualified for the RSU Post UTME screening exercise. If you fall short, it means you cannot take part this year. That’s the rule, plain and simple.

AFIT, Kaduna Air Force Institute of Technology
See AFIT School Fees payment Schedule for 2025/2026

Air Force Institute of Technology Kaduna has published the 2025–2026 school fees. New and returning students should check the schedule, note the free tuition policy, and follow the payment steps through the official portal. Read further for details and guidance.

Sorting out school fees is never anyone’s favourite pastime, yet it is one of those boxes that must be ticked before classes begin. The Air Force Institute of Technology, Kaduna, has now laid out the full fee schedule for the 2025/2026 academic year. Whether you are just stepping in as a fresh student or you are coming back for another round, the numbers are clear and official.

AFIT Fee Structure Overview

AFIT runs a wide mix of programmes. These range from:

  • National Diploma (ND)
  • Pre-Higher National Diploma (Pre-HND)
  • Higher National Diploma (HND)
  • Degree courses

The school has released the approved list for each category. A detailed copy is available in the AFIT school fees schedule PDF.

Key Points on AFIT School Fees

  • Tuition is free for all programmes, which removes a huge weight from the shoulders of families.
  • Service charges such as sports, medical, and I.C.T are the same across all faculties.
  • One-time charges like acceptance fee and caution deposit apply only at entry level.
  • Hostel fees are optional, giving students room to decide.

The school encourages students to study the schedule properly and keep track of what applies to them. Missing a line can cause delays later, and nobody wants that on registration day.

Payment Process and Portal Access

Payments are only allowed through the official AFIT student portal. The system runs on a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) code, generated inside the portal before payment. Students are reminded to pay on time, as late payments may attract penalties or block access to course registration.

Steps for Returning Students

  1. Log in with your JAMB Registration Number as username. Use a default password made up of your level and “2025”. For example, 300 level students will use 3002025.
  2. Change your password and update your email address to proceed. Once done, you land on your dashboard.
  3. Select “Proceed to Pay 2025/2026 Fees” and follow the steps.
  4. After paying, click on Print Receipt to generate and keep your receipt.

These steps are meant for returning students only. Fresh students should follow the guidelines shared during admission clearance.

AFIT, Kaduna Air Force Institute of Technology
AFIT Pre-HND, HND & Direct Entry Screening 2025/2026

Air Force Institute of Technology has fixed dates for Pre-HND, HND and Direct Entry screening for 2025–2026. Candidates must attend on 18–19 September at Mosugu Hall, AFIT. Bring original documents or risk disqualification.

The Air Force Institute of Technology, Kaduna, has made it official. The screening schedule for those who applied for Pre-HND, HND, and 200 Level Direct Entry programmes is out. For many, this is the last lap before admission is sealed. Miss it, and the chance is gone for the year.

AFIT Screening Schedule

The screening exercise is not stretched out, it is two days only. Candidates should mark their calendars and prepare.

  • Dates: 18 and 19 September 2025
  • Venue: Mosugu Hall, AFIT Kaduna
  • Time: 9 am and 2 pm daily

The school expects punctuality. Arriving late can throw you off, so better to plan ahead. Kaduna traffic, or even a sudden downpour, can slow things down, so leave early.

What to Bring for the AFIT Screening

Applicants are asked to come along with the following:

  • Original copies of all academic credentials
  • Supporting documents for their admission application

These are not optional. Missing papers could mean wasted effort, and there is no second chance.

Why Attendance Matters

Skipping the screening dates means automatic disqualification. No appeals, no rescheduling. The process is set up to be firm and fair. AFIT has reminded candidates that showing up, with documents in hand, is the only way forward.
