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), 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.

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.

Official Website and Portal Links

For admission applications, candidates should use the application route linked from the official college website rather than relying on third-party agents or unofficial websites. The 2026/2027 admission notice specifically directed applicants to the college’s website for registration.

College of Nursing Sciences, Umulogho Obowo (CONSUO) is a nursing training institution located in Umulogho, Obowo Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria. The college is affiliated with Our Lady of Mercy Hospital and is described by its official website as a Catholic institution owned by the Catholic Diocese of Okigwe. Its academic focus is on preparing nurses and midwives through classroom instruction, practical training and clinical experience.

The institution’s core nursing programmes include Basic General Nursing and Basic Midwifery. The official website describes both as three-year programmes leading respectively toward Registered Nurse (RN) and Registered Midwife (RM) professional qualifications. The college also states that students receive hands-on clinical training through partner hospitals and healthcare facilities.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) lists College of Nursing Sciences, Our Lady of Mercy Hospital, Umulogho Obowo with full accreditation for its Nursing Programme and Midwifery Programme, both dated June 2023. The NMCN record gives admission quotas of 120 students for Nursing and 50 students for Midwifery.

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.

The college’s official contact page lists its address as:

College of Nursing, Umulogho Obowo, Imo State, Nigeria.

The institution is situated within the Obowo area of Imo State and is associated with Our Lady of Mercy Hospital, which provides an important clinical environment for nursing education.

List of Programmes Offered by College of Nursing Sciences, Umulogho Obowo

The college’s current official website identifies the following core programmes:

Nursing Department

• Basic General Nursing

Midwifery Department

• Basic Midwifery

The official website describes both programmes as three-year programmes. Basic General Nursing prepares students toward Registered Nurse (RN) training, while Basic Midwifery focuses on maternal, newborn and related midwifery care leading toward Registered Midwife (RM) training.

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

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:

• English Language
• Mathematics
• Physics
• Chemistry
• Biology

The credits should normally be obtained in not more than two sittings.

School Fees

Some third-party websites publish estimated figures for the institution, including estimates in the region of ₦150,000–₦200,000 for tuition and registration. However, these figures are not presented here as official current school fees, because the college’s own website instructs prospective students to contact the institution for current fee information.

Prospective students should therefore confirm the complete fee schedule directly from the college before making any payment. They should also ask whether acceptance, registration, clinical, examination, medical, uniform and accommodation charges are included or billed separately.

Cut-Off Mark

For the 2026/2027 ND Nursing admission exercise, the published minimum JAMB score was 150. Candidates were also required to meet the relevant O’Level requirements and participate in the college’s screening process.

This figure should not automatically be treated as a universal cut-off mark for every programme or future admission session. Candidates should check the college’s latest admission notice before applying.

Hostel / Accommodation

The college’s official website states that hostel accommodation is available for qualified female students, while male students currently live outside the school compound.

The current official hostel fee was not published on the college’s website. Students should therefore contact the school to confirm availability, eligibility, payment requirements and the accommodation charge for their particular session.

Notable Alumni

A reliable official list of notable alumni of College of Nursing Sciences, Umulogho Obowo was not identified during the research for this page. Names have therefore not been added without sufficient evidence.

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

The college’s official website confirms that it operates a permanent campus with academic and support facilities, but a current official hostel fee or detailed accommodation schedule was not identified in the sources reviewed.

Students seeking accommodation should contact the college directly to confirm whether hostel spaces are available for their admission year, the applicable charges and the procedure for securing a space.

Notable Alumni

A reliable official list of notable alumni of the Benue State College of Health Sciences and Technology, Agasha was not identified. It would therefore be inappropriate to attach names to this section without sufficient evidence.

The college states that its graduates have gone on to occupy positions within primary healthcare services, reflecting the institution’s long-standing focus on community and public health training.

Official Website and Portal Links

The official portal provides separate access for applicants and students, including admission-related activities, admission-status checking and student dashboard functions.

The college provides professional nursing and midwifery education and operates along Saminaka Road in Jengre. Its official website describes the institution as a private College of Nursing offering ND/HND Nursing, while the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) lists both its Nursing and Midwifery programmes among approved training programmes.

The college’s stated vision is to produce polyvalent nurses capable of providing professional nursing care to individuals, families and communities. Its training combines classroom instruction with practical and clinical experience, preparing students for professional nursing responsibilities after completing their programmes.

History

Jibape Memorial College of Nursing Sciences is operated by Jibape Memorial College of Nursing Limited, a private company incorporated in Nigeria in June 2021. Public corporate records identify the company’s principal activity as education and training in health technology, with its registered address in Jengre, Plateau State.

The institution subsequently developed into a specialised nursing training college. NMCN records show that its Nursing and Midwifery programmes were granted provisional approval in October 2023. The college is also included in the NMCN’s updated list of approved schools covering Plateau State.

JMCONS has continued to develop its nursing education programme and admission structure. The college’s official website states that students are trained toward professional nursing qualifications and that graduates proceed for the mandatory supervised clinical experience after completing their academic programme.

The college’s presence in Jengre also places it within an area that has several nursing and midwifery training institutions, making Jengre an important location for healthcare education in Plateau State.

Location

Jibape Memorial College of Nursing Sciences is located along Saminaka Road, Jengre, Bassa Local Government Area, Plateau State, Nigeria. The college’s business listing places it within Jengre, while its official admission information and recent admission notices identify Jengre as the location of the institution.

Jengre is a community in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State. The location provides access to nursing education for students from Plateau State as well as candidates from neighbouring parts of northern and central Nigeria.

List of Programmes Offered by Jibape Memorial College of Nursing Sciences

Nursing Programmes

• National Diploma (ND) in Nursing
• Higher National Diploma (HND) in Nursing

Midwifery Programme

• Midwifery

The NMCN’s published list identifies Nursing and Midwifery as programmes at Jibape Memorial College of Nursing Sciences, Jengre. The college’s own website specifically describes its ND/HND Nursing programme.

Admission Requirements

For the 2026/2027 academic session, candidates applying for admission into the ND Nursing programme are required to have participated in the JAMB UTME and obtained a minimum score of 150. The college’s official application page states that JAMB is required for the programme.

Applicants must also possess at least five credit passes in the required O’Level subjects:

• English Language
• Mathematics
• Physics
• Chemistry
• Biology

The credits may be obtained from WAEC, NECO or NABTEB, with results accepted in not more than two sittings. However, candidates presenting a NABTEB result are not permitted to combine it with another result according to the college’s published 2026/2027 admission requirements.

Applicants must also be at least 16 years old by October 2026 for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.

School Fees

A comprehensive official 2026/2027 school-fee schedule was not found on the college’s website during this research.

Some third-party sources have published estimated figures for JMCONS, including an older estimate of about ₦150,000 to ₦200,000 per session. However, this figure is not a current official fee schedule and should not be presented as the confirmed 2026/2027 school fees.

Prospective students should obtain the current fee breakdown directly from the college before making payment. This is particularly important because nursing students may have additional charges for registration, clinical activities, uniforms, accommodation, examinations and other requirements.

Cut-Off Mark

The 2026/2027 JAMB cut-off mark for Jibape Memorial College of Nursing Sciences is 150. The figure is stated on the college’s official application page for admission into its Nursing programme.

Meeting the 150 UTME requirement does not by itself guarantee admission. Applicants must also satisfy the required O’Level subjects and other conditions attached to the admission exercise.

Hostel and Accommodation

Information about the current availability and official cost of hostel accommodation at Jibape Memorial College of Nursing Sciences is limited.

An older third-party source estimated self-contained hostel accommodation at about ₦120,000, but this is not a current official 2026/2027 figure and should not be treated as the confirmed accommodation fee.

Students should contact the college directly to confirm whether accommodation is currently available, the type of rooms provided and the applicable charges for the academic session.

Notable Alumni

Jibape Memorial College of Nursing Sciences is a relatively young nursing institution, with its programmes appearing in NMCN’s approved-school records from 2023. It therefore does not yet have a large body of long-established alumni whose professional achievements are widely documented.

The 2026/2027 application form fee was reported as ₦10,000. Recent admission information states that applications were submitted through the college’s online portal.

Is Jibape Memorial College of Nursing Sciences accredited?

JMCONS describes itself on its official website as fully licensed and accredited. However, the NMCN’s December 2025 approved-schools list records the college’s Nursing and Midwifery programmes as provisional, with approval dated October 2023. Prospective students should therefore distinguish the college’s own description from the regulator’s published accreditation status.

How much is Jibape Memorial College of Nursing Sciences school fees?

Does Jibape Memorial College of Nursing Sciences have a hostel?

Hostel accommodation has been mentioned in third-party information about the college, but a current official 2026/2027 accommodation fee or detailed hostel schedule was not verified. Students should confirm availability and charges directly with JMCONS.

What is the official website of Jibape Memorial College of Nursing Sciences?

The official website is jmcons.edu.ng. The site provides information about the college, its programmes, online application and admission-status checking.

Is admission currently available at JMCONS?

The official application page identifies the 2026/2027 programme and its requirements, while recent reports indicate that an admission list for the session was released in September 2026.

Mercy Medical University (MMU) is a private specialised medical university located in Iwara, Iwo, Osun State, Nigeria. The university was established and licensed by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Federal Government of Nigeria in 2023, with Licence No. 137. It commenced academic activities after receiving approval to operate as a degree-awarding institution focused on medicine, pharmacy and allied health education.

The university’s academic structure includes the College of Medicine, College of Pharmaceutical Sciences and College of Allied Health Sciences. Its current undergraduate programmes include Medicine and Surgery, Nursing Science, Medical Laboratory Science, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Optometry, Radiography, Audiology, Public Health, Community Health Science, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and Healthcare Administration and Hospital Management.

History 

Mercy Medical University was established in 2023 as a private specialised medical university in Iwara, Iwo, Osun State. Its establishment was licensed by the National Universities Commission and the Federal Government of Nigeria under Licence No. 137. The university was created with a focus on training medical and healthcare professionals with both academic knowledge and practical clinical skills.

From its beginning, the institution has concentrated on medicine, pharmacy and allied health sciences rather than operating as a broad-based university with programmes across unrelated academic fields. Its academic offerings have expanded as the university has developed, with the 2026/2027 admission exercise covering programmes across three major colleges.

The university’s development has also included expansion of its clinical training capacity. In August 2026, Mercy Medical University announced that the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) had granted the university full accreditation for housemanship training and approved an increase in its housemanship training quota following an institutional assessment. The assessment included facilities at Mercy University Teaching Hospital in Osogbo and the university’s Telemu campus.

Location

Mercy Medical University is located at Mercy Medical Complex, Ikire-Ile-Iwara Road, Iwara, Iwo, Osun State, Nigeria. The university’s published contact information identifies Iwara in Iwo as its main location.

Iwo is a major town in Osun State and is accessible from other parts of the state and neighbouring areas. The university’s medical focus means students also have access to clinical training environments associated with its teaching-hospital facilities.

Candidates who did not initially choose the university as their first choice may be required to process a Change of Institution through a JAMB-accredited CBT centre or JAMB office.

Candidates are also required to possess at least five relevant O’Level credit passes in WAEC, NECO or NABTEB. The general science-based requirement listed by the university includes English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, with results accepted in not more than two sittings. Programme-specific requirements may apply.

Mercy Medical University also accepts Direct Entry candidates. The university’s 2026/2027 admission exercise includes Direct Entry alongside UTME and Inter-University Transfer admission. Candidates applying through Direct Entry should meet the additional academic qualification required for their intended programme and provide the relevant certificate or qualification for verification.

School Fees

Mercy Medical University has published an official 2026/2027 fee breakdown for 100-level students. The published figures include tuition, college fee, practical fee, registration fee and medical test fee.

These figures are specifically identified by the university as the 2026/2027 fees for 100-level students. Students should confirm the complete payment schedule and any additional charges before making payment.

Cut-Off Mark

The general minimum UTME score for admission into Mercy Medical University for the 2026/2027 academic session is 150. Candidates must also meet the relevant O’Level requirements for their chosen programme.

The university’s admission requirements indicate that candidates for its health and medical programmes are expected to have the appropriate science subjects at O’Level. Meeting the 150 UTME threshold alone does not replace the programme-specific academic requirements.

Hostel and Accommodation

Mercy Medical University provides hostel accommodation as part of its student arrangements. The university’s 2026 registration notice states that all UTME students are required to provide evidence of hostel-fee payment, while Direct Entry and Inter-University Transfer students in Medicine and Surgery and Pharmacy are also specifically listed for hostel accommodation.

The same registration notice requires newly admitted students to come with a 2½-size mattress and personal belongings. It also states that electrical items are not permitted.

A separate current hostel fee figure was not clearly stated in the official 2026/2027 fee breakdown reviewed for this page, so prospective students should confirm the applicable accommodation charge through the university portal or admissions office.

Notable Alumni

Mercy Medical University is a relatively young institution, having been established in 2023 and commencing academic activities only recently. It therefore does not yet have a large body of graduates with long-established public profiles.

EducationNGR has not identified a sufficiently reliable official list of notable alumni to publish names under this section. As the university’s alumni community develops, this section can be updated with graduates whose educational and professional records can be independently verified.

The Diocese on the Niger subsequently sought to extend this educational tradition into university-level education.

The university’s founding vision became more prominent during the episcopacy of Bishop Owen Nwokolo, who described the establishment of a university as an effort to take the educational contributions associated with the Diocese to a higher level. The institution was subsequently established in Umunya, with Very Rev. Prof. Chinedu Nebo becoming its pioneer Vice-Chancellor.
