The Federal Ministry of Education has announced the release of admissions into Federal Unity Colleges across Nigeria, marking a major step toward transparency, efficiency, and better management of student placements in secondary schools.
The announcement was made on Tuesday in Abuja by the Director of Press and Public Relations, Folasade Boriowo, who stated that the initiative, led by the Minister of State for Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, ensures that all admissions are now fully automated and conducted strictly within each school’s approved capacity. This new system is expected to eliminate the long-standing problem of overstretched facilities in Unity Colleges.
Dr. Alausa emphasized that the reform guarantees fairness, operational efficiency, and a consistent level of quality across all Federal Unity Colleges.
The current phase of the admission exercise applies to 80 conventional Federal Unity Colleges admitting students into Junior Secondary School 1, while admission into the remaining 42 Federal Technical Colleges under the Technical and Vocational Education and Training programme will follow later.
Hajia Binta Abdulkadri, Director of Senior Secondary Education, described the automated system as a game-changer. She noted that aligning admission numbers with the capacity of each school would foster a more effective learning environment for students.
The ministry added that the reform would streamline the admission process, enhance accountability, and uphold high educational standards nationwide. Parents and guardians have been advised to check the results on the Ministry’s official portal.
The Federal Ministry of Education reaffirmed its commitment to delivering quality education within a safe and conducive environment for every Nigerian child.
