SA’ADU ZUNGUR UNIVERSITY (SAZU) RELEASES APPROVED TUITION FEES FOR 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION
This is to inform all students of Sa’adu Zungur University, formerly known as Bauchi State University, that the school management has officially released the approved schedule of students’ charges for the 2025/2026 academic session. All new and returning students are advised to go through the information carefully so they can understand the school fees and other charges they are expected to pay.
Education is very important in life, and the school wants every student to be aware of the financial requirements before the new academic year begins. This will help students and their parents or guardians to plan well ahead and avoid late payments or registration problems. The management has made sure that the charges are reasonable and fair based on the needs of the school and students.
Categories of Students
The school fees schedule is divided into two main groups:
-
Fresh Students (Newly Admitted Students)
-
Returning Students (Old Students)
Each of these groups is further divided into:
-
Indigenes (Students from Bauchi State)
-
Non-Indigenes (Students from other states)
The fees are not the same for everyone. Indigenes pay lower fees than non-indigenes because the school is owned by Bauchi State Government. This is to support students from the state.

The management of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), Bauchi, has officially announced the commencement of the Physical Screening Exercise for all candidates who applied for admission through JAMB into the 2025/2026 academic session.
The announcement, which was released by the Office of the Registrar, serves as an important reminder to all prospective students that physical screening remains a mandatory step in the admission process at ATBU. The exercise has been scheduled to hold as follows:
-
🗓️ Start Date: Friday, 17th October 2025
-
⏰ Closing Date: Saturday, 25th October 2025
-
📍 Venue: NCC Building, Gubi Campus, along Kano Road, Bauchi
This screening exercise provides an opportunity for the institution to verify and authenticate the documents and details submitted by candidates during their online application and JAMB registration process. It is also a final step before the official release of the admission list for successful applicants.
🎓 Purpose of the Physical Screening
The physical screening exercise at ATBU is not just a formality—it is a crucial part of the university’s admission process. Through this exercise, the school ensures that every admitted candidate genuinely meets the eligibility criteria and has presented accurate and verifiable credentials.
During the screening, officials will:
-
Confirm that candidates’ academic qualifications (O’level results) align with the programme requirements.
-
Cross-check JAMB registration details and ensure candidates applied through the official JAMB portal.
-
Verify birth certificates, local government identification, and other relevant personal documents.
-
Detect and prevent cases of impersonation or document falsification.
🧾 Documents Required for the Screening
All candidates are expected to appear in person with both the original and photocopies of the following documents for verification:
-
JAMB Admission Letter (if available)
-
JAMB Result Slip showing the candidate’s score and choice of institution
-
O’Level Results (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) – must include five (5) credits, including English Language and Mathematics
-
Birth Certificate or Age Declaration
-
Local Government Identification Letter
-
Post-UTME Acknowledgment/Screening Slip
-
Recent Passport Photographs
-
Application Payment Slip or Receipt
Candidates are strongly advised to organize their documents neatly and ensure that all information corresponds correctly across all credentials. Any form of inconsistency—such as name mismatch, date of birth discrepancies, or unverified O’Level results—could delay or even disqualify a candidate from the admission process.
⚠️ Important Instructions from the Registrar
The university has emphasized that there will be no extension after the closing date of Saturday, 25th October 2025. Therefore, candidates must take note of the dates and attend the screening within the specified period.
The Registrar, Alh. Kabiru Garba Aminu (FNIPR), in the official statement, stressed the importance of punctuality, discipline, and compliance with all screening guidelines. He further urged candidates to conduct themselves responsibly during the exercise.
“All applicants are expected to appear in person for the screening within the stipulated period. Kindly note that there will be no extension after the closing date,” the notice read.
He also added that candidates should come along with all relevant original copies of their documents for verification. Failure to do so would mean automatic disqualification from the admission consideration process.
📚 Why the Screening Exercise Matters
For many applicants, the physical screening is the final confirmation step before admission into ATBU. The process helps the university maintain transparency and uphold the integrity of its admission system.
It is during this exercise that university officials confirm that all shortlisted candidates have:
-
Applied correctly through JAMB
-
Attained the required cut-off mark
-
Uploaded valid academic qualifications
-
Provided authentic personal data
Without passing this stage, even a high JAMB score or post-UTME performance cannot secure a candidate’s admission.
💡 Tips for a Smooth Screening Experience
To ensure that the process goes smoothly, candidates are advised to keep the following tips in mind:
-
Arrive early: It’s best to be at the venue before 9:00 am to avoid long queues.
-
Dress appropriately: Appear decently dressed. Remember, you are representing yourself as a prospective ATBU student.
-
Organize your documents: Arrange all credentials in a clear file, separating originals and photocopies for easy access.
-
Avoid proxy representation: Candidates must appear in person. No one can attend the screening on behalf of another.
-
Stay updated: Regularly check the university’s website and official social media pages for any new information or announcements.
📅 No Extension Policy
The management has made it clear that no extension of date will be granted beyond the stated deadline of 25th October 2025. Candidates who fail to appear for screening within the period automatically forfeit their admission opportunity for the session.
Hence, applicants should make adequate travel and accommodation arrangements to ensure timely appearance for the exercise.

View AllMaths, English Remain Compulsory for O’Level Students, FG Clarifies
The Federal Government has clarified that English Language and Mathematics remain compulsory subjects for all students registering for their O’Level examinations, despite the recent review of admission requirements into tertiary institutions.
In a statement issued on Sunday by the Federal Ministry of Education, the government said the new policy on streamlined admission criteria does not exempt any candidate from registering or sitting for the two core subjects.
According to the statement signed by Director of Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade, the clarification became necessary following misinterpretations of the new O’Level admission framework.
The Minister of Education, Dr Maruf Tunji Alausa, explained that the reform was introduced to promote flexibility, inclusiveness, and fairness in tertiary education admissions, ensuring that capable students are not denied access because of deficiencies in subjects unrelated to their chosen courses.
“The streamlining ensures that deserving students are not denied access to higher education due to credit deficiencies in subjects that are not directly relevant to their chosen fields of study,” Alausa said.
He added that the new framework aligns with global best practices and corrects imbalances in the previous admission system by allowing institutions to admit candidates into certain programmes where credit passes in either subject are not compulsory, but all students must still register and sit for both.
“All students must continue to take both subjects as part of their Senior School Certificate Examinations, as they remain vital components of a sound educational foundation,” the statement partly read.
The ministry said the policy supports the Federal Government’s broader goal of equitable access, inclusivity, and human capital development, while upholding education quality and integrity.
It also urged students, parents, and education stakeholders to rely solely on the ministry’s official communication channels and verified social media platforms for accurate updates on reforms and policies.
The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to building a credible, inclusive, and globally competitive education system anchored on integrity, excellence, and equal opportunity for all learners.
TEAM CAMPUSINFO had reported that Nigerian senior secondary school students in arts and humanities will no longer be required to present a credit in mathematics in their Senior School Certificate Examination, organised by the West African Examination Council and National Examination Council, as a condition for admission to universities and polytechnics, the Federal Ministry of Education.

This announcement is targeted at applicants who participated in the DELSU Post-UTME screening exercise but have not yet been offered admission due to not meeting the cut-off marks for their original course choices.
According to the notice from the university, vacancies now exist in several departments and programmes, giving candidates another opportunity to secure admission through a Change of Course/Programme process. This admission opportunity also extends to candidates from DELSU JUPEB and CCEP programmes.
✅ Who is Eligible?
This window is open to:
-
Candidates who participated in the DELSU Post-UTME screening for 2025/2026.
-
Candidates whose aggregate score is below the cut-off mark of their initially chosen course.
-
Candidates who meet the O’Level requirements of their newly selected programme.
-
Candidates from DELSU JUPEB and CCEP programmes who have qualifying results.
🎯 Important Admission Instruction
Candidates who are willing to apply must ensure the new course they are switching to has a lower cut-off mark than their aggregate. Failure to follow this rule will lead to automatic disqualification.
Example:
-
Cut-off mark for Mass Communication = 76
-
Only candidates with 76 and above who were not admitted yet can switch to Mass Communication.
-
Those who scored below 76 cannot choose Mass Communication because they do not meet the minimum cut-off.
✅ Method of Application
Interested candidates must carefully follow the steps below to successfully apply:
Step 1: Change of Course on JAMB Portal
-
Visit any JAMB-accredited CBT centre or use the JAMB CAPS portal.
-
Apply for Change of Course/Programme and choose a new available course in DELSU where your aggregate meets or exceeds the cut-off mark.
-
Make sure DELSU remains your institution of choice.
Step 2: Update Changes on DELSU Portal
-
Visit the Delta State University student portal:
🔗 https://studentportal.delsu.edu.ng -
Log in using your JAMB Registration Number.

The university has made it clear that there will be no extension after the deadline. Candidates are strongly advised to act quickly to avoid missing this opportunity.
📚 Why Change of Course is Important
Many candidates every year lose admission opportunities simply because they select highly competitive courses like Law, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Mass Communication, and Computer Science without meeting the competitive cut-off marks. DELSU, however, has opened this change of course window to help applicants increase their chances of gaining admission by considering alternative but relevant programmes.
This move promotes fairness and access to higher education, ensuring no slot goes unused in departments with available spaces.
✅ Tips for Choosing a Better Course Option
Candidates should consider the following before making a change:
| If You Applied For | You Can Switch To |
|---|---|
| Medicine & Surgery | Anatomy, Physiology, Nursing, Medical Biochemistry |
| Law | Political Science, History & International Studies, Philosophy |
| Computer Science | Information Systems, Mathematics, Cybersecurity |
| Accounting | Banking & Finance, Business Administration, Marketing |
| Mass Communication | English, Theatre Arts, Sociology |
| Pharmacy | Biochemistry, Microbiology, Biotechnology |
| Nursing | Health Education, Physiology, Human Anatomy |
Choosing a course close to your original choice allows you to still build a career in your desired field.
📄 O’Level Requirements Reminder
Candidates must ensure their O’Level (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) meets:
-
A minimum of 5 credit passes including English Language and Mathematics.

View AllRemoving Mathematics as a Compulsory Subject for Arts Students: Balancing Access with Global Realities
The Federal Government of Nigeria recently approved the removal of Mathematics as a compulsory subject for students seeking admission into arts and humanities programmes. While the move aims to ease access and reduce academic pressure on students whose strengths lie in language, literature, and creativity, it has stirred a national conversation about the value of mathematics in education and employability.
Globally, there is no single rule on whether mathematics should be compulsory for all learners. Countries design their education systems around their economic needs, labour markets, and learning capacities. For instance, many European and Asian nations retain compulsory mathematics up to the end of secondary school, ensuring all students achieve basic numeracy before specialisation. In contrast, some systems in North America and Australia allow flexibility, letting students in arts or humanities replace advanced mathematics with courses in data literacy, logic, or statistics relevant to their field.
At the heart of this debate is the question: What kind of mathematics do all students really need? The modern global view emphasises “functional numeracy”, the ability to reason with numbers, understand data, and apply quantitative thinking to everyday and professional problems. This skill set supports decision-making in civic life, business, and digital communication. Thus, while not every student requires calculus or algebra, all benefit from the capacity to interpret figures, analyze trends, and engage with the data-driven world.
Nigeria’s case is unique. For years, Mathematics has been one of the major barriers to university admission, especially for students from rural or under-resourced schools. Many intelligent and creative students in arts disciplines struggle to pass Mathematics at the required level due to poor teaching quality, lack of instructional materials, and a rigid examination culture. By removing the subject as a compulsory entry requirement, the government hopes to promote inclusivity and reduce wastage in the system.
However, the decision also carries risks. The Nigerian labour market increasingly values numeracy and digital literacy, even in traditionally non-scientific fields such as media, communication, law, and the arts. Graduates lacking basic data skills may find themselves at a disadvantage in a world where digital tools and analytical reasoning are becoming essential. Without strong alternatives, the policy could inadvertently deepen the skill gap between Nigerian graduates and their global peers.
The most balanced approach would be to reform, not remove, Mathematics. Instead of eliminating it completely for arts students, Nigeria could redesign the curriculum to include practical numeracy, courses that teach statistics, budgeting, logic, and data interpretation through real-life applications in the humanities. Such reform would maintain access while preparing students for modern work demands.
In the end, the issue is not about whether arts students should “do math,” but about ensuring every Nigerian student leaves school with the quantitative confidence to thrive in today’s economy. The removal of Mathematics as a compulsory subject should be an opportunity for innovation, not a step back from the global movement toward inclusive and practical education.
