University of Abuja (UNIABUJA)
UNIABUJA Important Notice to all 2025/2026 Direct Entry Candidates

University of Abuja has issued an important notice to all Direct Entry applicants for the 2025/2026 session. Candidates are to verify their certificates at their former schools and ensure clearance on the JAMB portal. Kindly follow the outlined steps below.

The University of Abuja has sounded a clear call to its Direct Entry candidates. If you’re among those hoping to join the university for the 2025/2026 academic year, there’s a small but serious task you must complete. It’s about your certificates, and the school is saying without this step, you won’t be cleared on their portal.

It may look like routine paperwork, but in truth, this can make or break your admission process.

What UNIABUJA Direct Entry Applicants Must Do

Here’s the path you’re expected to follow, plain and simple:

  • Go back to the school where you got your First Degree, NCE, A-Level, or any other result.
  • Ask for your certificate to be verified.
  • Make sure it is uploaded and approved on the JAMB (NIPEDS) portal.
  • An official email must have reached your former school about this process, so follow it up.

Missing this step means no clearance on the university’s system, no matter your scores or efforts.

Why It Matters

Universities are careful with credentials these days. UNIABUJA is stressing that every certificate must be checked from the source before it can stand. It’s their way of keeping things clean and fair for all.
