The Federal Ministry of Education has announced the release of admissions into Federal Unity Colleges across the country, unveiling a fully automated system designed to promote transparency, efficiency, and proper capacity management in secondary school placements.
The reform, spearheaded by the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, marks a decisive shift from manual admission processes to a digital framework that ensures all placements are conducted strictly within each school’s approved capacity. The Ministry noted that this will eliminate the problem of overstretched facilities and create a more conducive learning environment for students.
“This reform guarantees fairness, operational efficiency, and sustained quality in our Federal Unity Colleges,” Dr. Alausa stated while highlighting the significance of the initiative.
The ongoing admission exercise covers 80 conventional Federal Unity Colleges (Junior Secondary School 1). Admission into the remaining 42 Federal Technical Colleges under the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme will be released subsequently.
According to the Director of Senior Secondary Education, Hajia Binta Abdulkadri, the automation system is “a game-changer” that aligns admissions with each school’s carrying capacity while enhancing accountability and ensuring improved educational standards nationwide.
Parents, guardians, and students have been advised to check admission results on the Ministry’s official website: www.education.gov.ng.
Reaffirming its commitment, the Ministry stated that the reform reflects its dedication to delivering quality education within safe and well-managed environments for Nigerian children.
