ADAMAWA STATE UNIVERSITY (ADSU) PROMOTES THREE PROFESSORS AND SIX ASSOCIATE PROFESSORS


The Adamawa State University (ADSU), Mubi, is buzzing with celebration! During the 134th meeting of the University Senate held on Thursday, January 29, 2026, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Augustine Clement, shared some fantastic news.

Nine dedicated teachers have been promoted to higher ranks after passing a very tough “external assessment.” This means experts from other universities looked at their work and agreed that they are among the best in their fields. These promotions are a huge win for the staff, their students, and the entire university.


Meet the New Professors

A “Professor” is the highest rank a teacher can reach in a university. It takes years of research, writing books, and teaching to get here. Congratulations to:

  • Dr. Stephen Aduwamai Lagu – Now a Professor of Linguistics (the study of language).

  • Dr. Zainab Buba Mshelia – Now a Professor of Ecology (the study of nature and the environment).

  • Dr. Donald Zira John – Now a Professor of Numerical Analysis (high-level math for solving complex problems).


Meet the New Associate Professors (Readers)

An Associate Professor (also called a “Reader”) is just one step away from becoming a full Professor. These six leaders have shown they are experts in their specific areas:

Name Specialization
Dr. Asiyina Elihu Parasitology and Public Health
Dr. Mauda Ahmed Taxation
Dr. Lucky Benson Public Policy and Governance
Dr. Thandime Apollos Garba Fish Breeding and Genetics
Dr. Yusufu Gambo Applied Artificial Intelligence
Dr. Denis Basila Accounting

What This Means for ADSU Students

When your teachers get promoted, it’s great news for you too!

  • Better Learning: You are being taught by recognized experts who are at the top of their game.

  • Higher Reputation: These promotions help ADSU climb higher in the “Global Rankings,” making your degree even more valuable when you look for a job.

  • New Research: These professors are working on things like Artificial Intelligence, Public Health, and Taxation—topics that help Nigeria solve real-world problems.


A Message from the Vice-Chancellor

Professor Augustine Clement didn’t just give out awards; he gave the new professors a challenge. He asked them to:

  1. Work even harder: Being a leader means setting a great example for students.

  2. Conduct “Impactful Research”: He wants them to discover things that help the country grow and thrive.

“Congratulations to all the newly promoted staff on this well-deserved milestone!” — D. D. Kwabe, Information and Protocol Officer.

AMBROSE ALLI UNIVERSITY, EKPOMA ANNOUCES RESUMPTION DATE FOR 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION


The academic year is a journey of transformation, and for students at Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, the next chapter is about to begin. Following the 331st regular meeting of the University Senate held on Wednesday, 28th January 2026, a clear and strategic resumption schedule has been approved.

This announcement comes as a relief to the university community after a period of careful planning and infrastructure upgrades aimed at making the campus more conducive for learning. Whether you are a “freshman” stepping onto the red soil of Ekpoma for the first time or a returning “old student” ready to finish what you started, this guide provides the deep-dive details you need to navigate the 2025/2026 session successfully.


1. The Resumption Timeline: Who Goes When?

The Senate has opted for a phased resumption. This strategy is designed to give new students dedicated time to complete their heavy administrative workload—physical screening, hostel allocation, and orientation—without the bustle of a fully crowded campus.

Phase 1: New Students (Freshmen)

  • Resumption Date: Sunday, 8th February 2026

  • The Goal: This week is all about “The Arrival.” New students are encouraged to use the first few days to settle into their halls of residence and familiarize themselves with the campus layout, from the Faculty buildings to the main University Library.

Phase 2: Old Students (Returning)

  • Resumption Date: Thursday, 12th February 2026

  • The Goal: Returning students are expected to hit the ground running. By arriving on Thursday, they have the weekend to finalize their course registrations before full-scale lectures commence the following Monday.


2. The New Student’s Survival Guide: Your First 7 Days

For a fresh student, the first week at AAU can feel overwhelming. However, if you follow this step-by-step structure, you will move from “applicant” to “bonafide student” with ease.

Step A: Physical Screening and Document Scrutiny

Even if you have been cleared online, you must present your physical documents to the Faculty Officers. You will need:

  • Your original JAMB Result/Admission Letter.

  • O’Level results (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB).

  • Your AAU Admission Letter and Acceptance Fee receipt.

  • An Affidavit of Good Behaviour (usually downloadable from the school portal).

Step B: Hostel Accommodation

Hostel space at AAU is highly competitive and is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • Eligibility: You must have paid at least the first installment of your school fees.

  • Process: Log in to the WAeUP.Kofa portal, generate a “Bed Allocation Fee” ticket, pay, and then use the activation code to book your specific hostel (e.g., Emotan, Igbinedion, or Rev. Martins).

Step C: The Orientation Exercise

Expect an official orientation program during your first two weeks. This is where the Vice-Chancellor and Dean of Students’ Affairs explain the “dos and don’ts” of the university. Pay close attention to the rules regarding CGPA requirements and social conduct—AAU maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy for cultism and examination malpractice.


3. Academic Excellence: Understanding the AAU Course System

AAU operates a Course Credit System. This means your success is measured by the units you pass each semester. Here is the academic “math” you need to know:

  • Credit Units: Each course has a weight (usually 2 or 3 units). To graduate, you must accumulate a minimum number of units (typically 120 units for a 4-year program).

  • The 1.50 Rule: If your Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) falls below 1.50, you will be placed on Probation. If it stays below 1.50 for a second year, you may be asked to withdraw.

  • No School Fees, No Exam: This is an extant rule. Your portal must show “Registered” for you to be eligible for both Pen-and-Paper and Computer-Based Examinations (CBE).


4. Infrastructure and Campus Life Upgrades

The university management has been working behind the scenes to improve your daily life on campus. Two major projects have recently reached milestones:

  1. Security Enhancement: The campus has seen the construction of new multipurpose parking lots and improved gate security to ensure that students can study in a safe environment.

  2. Power Supply: Thanks to recent government interventions, the institution is moving toward enjoying more stable electricity through alternative energy projects, which will significantly benefit those living in the halls of residence and those studying at night in the library.


5. Essential Checklist for All Students

Before you board that bus or car to Ekpoma, ensure you can check off every item on this list:

Task Status Notes
Acceptance Fee [ ] Mandatory for new students to secure admission.
O’Level Upload [ ] Ensure your results are on JAMB CAPS.
School Fee Payment [ ] Can be paid in installments if needed.
Course Registration [ ] Must be done online; print 4 copies of the form.
Medical Report [ ] New students must undergo screening at the Health Centre.
Hostel Booking [ ] Only available after fee payment.

6. Final Words of Wisdom

Ambrose Alli University is an institution with a rich history of producing world-class leaders. As you resume for the 2025/2026 session, remember that the “Ekpoma factor” is about resilience and hard work.

For New Students: Don’t be afraid to ask questions. The Faculty Officers and your departmental “Course Advisers” are there to help you. Avoid “shortcuts” and stick to the official portal for all payments.

For Old Students: The session is fast-paced. Start your registrations immediately and attend the very first lectures on February 12th. The second semester often feels shorter than the first, so early preparation is your best friend.

The University Senate and Management wish all students a safe journey to Ekpoma and a smooth, strike-free, and academically rewarding session!

USMANU DANFODIYO UNIVERSITY, SOKOTO ISSUES IMPORTANT NOTICE TO NEWLY ADMITTED STUDENTS ON JAMB ADMISSION LETTER FOR 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION


The Management of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS), has released an essential directive for all newly admitted students and those who processed Inter-Faculty transfers for the 2025/2026 academic session. To ensure a smooth transition into university life, all students must complete their JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) requirements before the official induction.

This order, signed by the Registrar, Mal. Ahmadu Shehu, emphasizes that legal studentship is tied directly to the verification of your JAMB admission credentials.


Critical Deadlines and Dates

To avoid losing your admission, please keep the following timeline in mind:

  • Final Deadline for Printing: On or before Wednesday, 25th February 2026.

  • Matriculation Ceremony: Wednesday, 25th February 2026.

Important Warning: If you fail to print and present your original JAMB Admission Letter by this date, you will not be assigned a Matriculation Number. Without this number, you are not officially a student of UDUS.


Action Steps for Students

The university has outlined specific instructions based on your current status. Follow these steps immediately:

1. Check for Discrepancies

If the course or faculty on your UDUS Admission Confirmation Letter is different from what is shown on your JAMB Admission Letter, you must act now.

  • The Fix: Visit the nearest JAMB office or an accredited CBT center to apply for a Change of Course/Institution or a Correction of Data.

  • Why? Your university records and JAMB records must match exactly for your admission to be valid.

2. Printing Your JAMB Admission Letter

Even if your details are correct, you must have the Original JAMB Admission Letter (the one with the barcode and multicolored background).

  • How: Log in to your JAMB e-Facility profile.

  • Fee: This service usually requires a payment of ₦1,000 via Remita on the JAMB portal.

  • Direct Entry/Transfer Students: This is especially critical for you to ensure your previous records have been properly “migrated” to your new UDUS program.


Why CAPS Compliance Matters

JAMB CAPS is the official system that handles all admissions in Nigeria. Being “CAPS Compliant” means:

  1. You have Accepted the admission offer on the JAMB portal.

  2. Your O’Level results have been uploaded and verified.

  3. JAMB has issued a final Admission Letter for the specific course you are studying at UDUS.

Failure to comply with these regulations will result in your name being excluded from the Official Matriculation List. This means you will not be able to participate in the ceremony, and your admission could be withdrawn.

Birmingham University to deliver UK degrees in UNILAG from 2027


The University of Lagos and the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Thursday, which will see the UK institution establish a Transnational Education Unit at UNILAG.

 

The MoU will see the two universities collaborate with Nigeria’s Ministry of Education to develop detailed proposals for the Transnational Education Unit in UNILAG, with a target to begin delivering programmes from 2027.

 

The unit, upon its establishment, will consider the delivery of programmes in areas such as Applied Intelligence, Digital Communications and Media, health sciences, and engineering.

 

The signing by the UNILAG Vice-Chancellor, Prof Folasade Ogunsola, and the Provost of the University of Birmingham, Prof Nick Vaughan-Williams, at the Senate Chamber of UNILAG, was witnessed by Nigeria’s Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa; the UK Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Jonny Baxter; the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission, Prof Abdullahi Ribadu; TETFund’s Director of Academic Staff Training and Development, Dr Hadiza Ismail, among other education stakeholders.

In his remarks, the education minister noted that the partnership between the two universities aligned with the ministry’s goal of producing graduates who are empowered to compete globally and contribute meaningfully to national development.

 

Alausa said, “A transnational education partnership opens the door to exciting research collaborations in cutting-edge fields such as renewable energy, healthcare, and AI.

 

“It also has the potential to increase access to globally recognised programmes for Nigerian students, expanding their horizons and opportunities for personal and professional growth.

“Furthermore, this partnership provides students with international exposure, thereby shaping them into captains in their respective fields. The impact on Nigeria’s socio-economic development is substantial, with potential breakthroughs in critical sectors, leveraging our partners’ expertise to address local and global challenges.”

 

He also noted that the collaboration has the potential to provide Nigerians at home with increased access to quality education, top-tier academic programmes, and prestigious degrees; enhance curriculum and pedagogy; improve employability and skills acquisition; and foster exchange and global networking.

 

Alausa stated, “The model of TNE partnership we are witnessing today is the University of Birmingham’s validated study programmes to be delivered at the University of Lagos.

 

“The University of Lagos and the University of Birmingham have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on international education to explore areas of undergraduate and postgraduate education in Nigeria, where the University of Birmingham will bring its high-quality, global best-standard education to partner with us in Nigeria in the areas of data science, artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and healthcare.

 

“It is still a process, and we are hoping that by 2027, the first batch of students will be admitted, but it is still a process. We can expose our students to high-quality education delivered by one of the best universities in the world here in Nigeria.

 

“Our children will be in Nigeria getting a world-class education. We will also have increased capacity development of our own faculty in Nigeria, and we will collaborate in the area of research, where we can begin to cascade into areas of international research.”

 

The UNILAG Vice-Chancellor explained that the collaboration emphasised the university’s drive for equitable global partnerships in higher education and responded to the increasing demand for internationally competitive university education.

Ogunsola added that the partnership was a critical step towards modernising curricula, enhancing global visibility, and strengthening research fields, including AI, health sciences, and engineering.

She said, “We have been working with the University of Birmingham for 10 years, but in one narrow area. We are now taking it to other programmes that would better serve the development of Nigeria.

 

“This new partnership offers a refreshing, accessible structure for students seeking to advance knowledge across diverse national and global contexts and strengthens our commitment to producing graduates who are globally competent yet deeply attuned to the needs of our society.

 

“This partnership reflects UNILAG’s broader vision of reimagining partnerships built on mutual respect, co-creation, and shared responsibility. This partnership will continue to create more experiences on lived realities and experiential learning through equitable engagement between the two institutions. This collaboration focuses on transnational education to provide world-class training in Nigeria.”

 

Speaking, the University of Birmingham Provost said the UK institution continued to seek global partnerships and opportunities in the transnational education space to equip graduates to be future-ready.

 

Vaughan-Williams noted that the UK university chose to collaborate with UNILAG, citing shared ambition, shared values, a compelling vision to be among the top 200 universities globally, and a commitment to serving their communities.

 

He said, “This is building on very secure and sustainable partnerships that already exist. For 10 years, we have been working together on a global surgery hub to support better surgical environments that lead to improved lives for millions of people across Nigeria and globally.

“We want to build on that to think about opportunities in the transnational education space. There are opportunities to collaborate beyond that particular partnership and to think about relationships across Nigeria and beyond. We are about the future of Nigeria. We are about equipping graduates to become leaders of tomorrow with skills so that they are future-ready in the workplace, so that they can create jobs to support Nigeria’s economy and society.”

 

The UK Deputy High Commissioner, Baxter, noted that the partnership would enable Nigerians to have access to quality education experiences locally.

 

Baxter also noted that the partnership would help provide admission opportunities to many Nigerians who are unable to secure higher education due to the inadequate carrying capacity of tertiary institutions.

 

He said, “The UK is aware of the deep and long-lasting education ties between Nigeria and the UK. The existing partnership is making those educational experiences accessible to many more people. Bringing British education into Nigeria is a way of allowing more Nigerians to access that educational experience.

 

“This partnership between the University of Birmingham and the University of Lagos shows how UK–Nigeria collaboration can broaden access to the UK’s world-class education, expand opportunities for young people, and support innovation in vital fields like artificial intelligence.

 

“By bringing together Birmingham’s expertise with UNILAG’s academic reputation, both institutions will benefit from shared learning, joint research, and deeper academic exchange, while equipping the next generation with the skills needed for a rapidly evolving digital world.”

 

Ribadu, the NUC Executive Secretary, pointed to the opportunities the collaboration offers, including joint research, staff and student exchange programmes, knowledge exchange, and joint partnerships to address global needs.

Hadiza, speaking on behalf of the TETFund Executive Secretary, Mr Sonny Echono, noted that following the suspension of the foreign scholarship scheme in November 2024, the partnership would engender continued access to quality degrees, collaborative research, and world-class academic opportunities within Nigeria, as well as reduce academic migration and retain talent in the nation’s institutions.

NABTEB ANNOUNCES NATIONAL COMMON ENTRANCE EXAM INTO TECHNICAL COLLEGES


If you are a student finishing primary school or a young person looking to learn a great trade, this is a very important announcement! The National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) has officially opened the door for the 2026 National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE).

This examination is the “golden key” that lets you enter Technical Colleges across Nigeria. These colleges are special schools where you don’t just read books—you learn how to use your hands and your brain to build things, fix engines, design technology, and create a successful life for yourself.


Important Dates to Circle on Your Calendar

To make sure you don’t miss out on this chance to join a Technical College, you must follow these dates very carefully:

  • Registration Opens: Sunday, 26th January 2026

  • Registration Closes: Saturday, 24th May 2026

  • The Big Exam Day: Saturday, 6th June 2026

The government and NABTEB have given you a four-month window to get ready. It is a good idea to register early so you have plenty of time to study!


How to Register: Two Easy Ways

You can register for the exam in the way that is easiest for you:

1. Register Online

You can do everything from a computer! Visit the NABTEB Student Portal. You will need to create an account, put in your information (like your name and age), and upload a clear photo of yourself.

Important Note: For 2026, candidates are required to have a National Identification Number (NIN) to complete their registration. If you don’t have one yet, ask your parents to help you get it today!

2. Register in Person

If you prefer to talk to someone, you can visit any of these places:

  • Any NABTEB Zonal Office (they are in all 36 states and Abuja).

  • Any Designated Technical College near your house.

  • Accredited registration centers.


Why Choose a Technical College?

Technical education is not just another type of school—it is a pathway to Economic Self-Reliance. This means you will learn skills that people will pay you for!

In a Technical College, you can learn things like:

  • Computer Technology & Coding

  • Mechanical & Electrical Engineering

  • Building Construction & Carpentry

  • Fashion Design & Catering

By the time you finish, you won’t just have a certificate; you will have a trade. This makes it much easier to find a great job or even start your own business and become your own boss!


Final Checklist for Candidates

Before you sit down to register, make sure you have these things ready:

  1. Your NIN: This is mandatory for the 2026 registration.

  2. A Passport Photo: A clean, digital picture of your face.

  3. Registration Fee: Check the portal or the nearest NABTEB office for the exact amount and how to pay using Remita.

  4. A Choice of Schools: Think about which Technical College you want to attend.

This is your moment to choose a path that leads to opportunities and wealth creation. Don’t wait until the last minute—the portal closes on May 24th!

UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (UAST) ANNOUNCES TUITION FEES FOR 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION


The University of Agriculture, Science and Technology (UAST), Ihugh, has shared a very important update for everyone joining the school for the 2025/2026 session. The school’s “money manager,” the Bursar Mr. James Ormye, has released the list of costs for the year.

If you want to be a student here, you need to follow a specific timeline to make sure your spot is safe. Here is everything you need to know in simple steps!


Important Dates You Must Remember

The school has a strict calendar. If you miss a deadline, you might have to pay extra money or even lose your chance to study!

  • Friday, 30th January 2026: The online Post-UTME screening CLOSES. You must finish this first!

  • Monday, 16th February 2026: Official registration begins for those who passed the screening.

  • Friday, 27th February 2026: The final day to register without a penalty.

Warning: if you register late, the school will add a 10% extra charge to your bill. It is much better to be early!


How Much Does it Cost?

The school has divided the fees based on what you are studying and where you are from. A great piece of news is that Tuition (the cost of the actual teaching) is ₦0.00! The money you pay is for things like the library, computers, doctors, and the labs.

Fee Table for New Students

Programme Category Benue State Indigenes Other Students
Group A (Non-Lab courses like Management) ₦265,000 ₦365,000
Group B (Science and Agriculture) ₦310,000 ₦425,000
Group C (Engineering and Computing) ₦340,000 ₦455,000

Note: If you want to live in the school hostel, a bed-space costs ₦160,000 extra.


Ways to Save Money and Pay Easily

The university wants to help your family manage the cost. They have two special options for you:

  1. The “Early Bird” Discount: If you pay your entire fee before the school resumes, the university will give you a 5% discount. This saves you a lot of money!

  2. The Split Payment Option: If you can’t pay everything at once, you can pay in two parts:

    • 70% when you first register.

    • 30% in the middle of the school year.


How to Pay Safely

To make sure your money gets to the school safely, you must follow these rules:

  • Online Only: All payments must start on the official University portal.

  • No Cash: Never give cash to anyone who says they work for the school. UAST does not allow cash payments to individuals.

  • Bank Channels: Use the list of approved banks that the school will provide.

Why These Fees Matter

The money you pay ensures that you have a great library to read in, fast internet for e-learning, working tools in the workshops, and good medical care if you feel sick. Staying on top of your payments means you can take your exams and enjoy all the fun parts of campus life!

UMARU MUSA YAR’ADUA UNIVERSITY, KATSINA ANNOUNCES REGISTRATION FOR NEWLY ADMITTED STUDENTS FOR 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION


Great news for all the new students at Umaru Musa Yar’adua University (UMYU)! If you have already finished your screening for the 2025/2026 school year, it is time for the next big step. The school has officially opened the doors for you to pay your fees and pick your classes!

This process started on Thursday, 23rd January 2026. If you haven’t started yet, don’t worry—you can go online right now and get everything done. This is the part where you officially “lock in” your spot as a student.


The Three Main Jobs You Need to Do

To finish your registration, you need to visit the College Portal. You will use the same place where you did your Post-UTME application. Once you log in, there are three very important jobs to finish:

  1. Update Your Biodata: This is just a fancy way of saying “Check your info.” You need to make sure the school has your correct name, home address, and phone number.

  2. Pay Your School Fees: You will need to click a button to “Generate a Transaction ID.” This is like a special digital receipt code. Once you have it, you can pay your fees so the school knows you are ready to study.

  3. Complete Course Registration: This is the best part! This is where you pick the actual classes you will be attending this year.


How to Get it Right the First Time

Sometimes, computer portals can be a little confusing. The university leaders want to make sure you don’t make any mistakes. They have created a special “Map” to help you, called the Registration Guidelines.

Pro Tip: Before you click anything, open the Registration Guidelines PDF. It tells you exactly which buttons to press and what to do if you get stuck. Reading this first will save you a lot of time!


A Quick Checklist for Success

To make sure your registration goes smoothly, here is what you should have ready before you sit down at the computer:

  • Your Login Details: Make sure you have your username and password for the UMYU Portal.

  • The Fees Money: Whether you are paying at a bank or online with a card, make sure the money is ready.

  • A Quiet Spot: Try to do your registration in a place with good internet so the computer doesn’t turn off in the middle of your payment.

  • A Printer: You will want to print out your “Course Form” and your “Payment Receipt” to keep in a safe folder.


Why You Should Hurry!

Even though the portal just opened, it is always a smart idea to finish your registration early. This way, you don’t have to worry about long lines at the bank or the website getting too slow when everyone tries to use it at the last minute. Plus, once you finish, you can relax and get ready for your Matriculation Ceremony!

Congratulations again on getting into UMYU. We are so excited to see you on campus starting your journey to a great future!

LANDMARK UNIVERSITY (LU) ANNOUNCES MATRICULATION CEREMONY


The Management of Landmark University is filled with joy as they invite everyone—students, parents, teachers, and friends of education—to a very special day. It is time for the 16th Matriculation Ceremony!

This is a day of bright smiles and big dreams. For the new students, it is the official “Welcome to the Family” moment. For the university, it is a time to celebrate a new group of future leaders who are ready to change the world.


When and Where Will it Happen?

To make sure you don’t miss any of the music, the speeches, or the special parade, make sure you mark your calendar with these details:

  • The Date: Friday, 6th February 2026.

  • The Time: 09:00 a.m. Prompt (This means you should be in your seat early!).

  • The Venue: The University Chapel, Landmark University, Omu-Aran.

The University Chapel is a beautiful and peaceful place. It is the heart of the campus, making it the perfect spot to start your new life as a university student.


What is a Matriculation Ceremony?

If you are a new student, you might wonder why everyone is so excited. A matriculation ceremony is like a “Grand Opening” for your education.

During the ceremony, you will wear a special long robe called an academic gown. You will stand up with your classmates and take a special oath. By taking this oath, you are promising to follow the rules of the school and to work very hard on your studies. Once the ceremony is over, you are officially a “Landmarker”!


Why 16 is a Special Number

This is the 16th time Landmark University has held this ceremony. Over the years, thousands of students have stood where you are standing today. Many of them are now successful doctors, engineers, and farmers helping the world. By being part of the 16th class, you are joining a long line of successful people.


Tips for a Wonderful Matriculation Day

To help you and your family have the best time possible, here are some simple tips:

  1. Arrive Early: Since the ceremony starts at 9:00 a.m., try to get to the Chapel by 8:30 a.m. This gives you time to find a seat and relax.

  2. Wear Your Gown with Pride: Your academic gown shows everyone that you have worked hard to get into this university. Make sure it is clean and neat!

  3. Charge Your Camera: Your parents and friends will want to take many pictures of you. Make sure your phone or camera is ready for all the memories.

  4. Invite Your Family: This is a big achievement! Landmark University loves to see parents and guardians “grace the occasion” to cheer you on.


A Message to Our Stakeholders

The university management values everyone who helps in education. Whether you are a parent who pays school fees or a teacher who helps students learn, you are a “stakeholder.” Your presence at the Chapel makes the day feel even more important and happy for the students.

We can’t wait to see the University Chapel filled with the Class of 2026. This is the start of your journey to becoming a “Pathfinder” at Landmark University. See you on Friday, February 6th!
