The management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, wishes to bring to the attention of all students an important announcement regarding the official course registration deadline for the 2025/2026 academic session. This notice has been issued to ensure that all students are fully aware of the timelines, procedures, and requirements for registering their courses for the current academic session.
According to a memorandum released by the Office of the Registrar on 21st November 2025, all students are required to complete their course registration on or before Thursday, 18th December 2025. Students are strongly advised to adhere strictly to this deadline, as the registration portal will not be reopened under any circumstances after the specified date.
Why Course Registration Is Important
Course registration is a mandatory academic procedure that allows students to enroll in the courses they intend to study for the semester or session. It serves several critical purposes:
-
Access to Lectures: Only students who have registered for courses can attend lectures.
-
Examination Eligibility: Registered students are the only ones eligible to sit for mid-semester and end-of-semester examinations.
-
Academic Record: Course registration ensures that your chosen courses are properly recorded in the University’s academic system.
-
Avoiding Academic Delays: Failure to register on time can delay your academic progress and, in extreme cases, may affect graduation timelines.
In view of these reasons, it is imperative that all students complete their registration before the 18th December 2025 deadline.
Who Should Register
This directive applies to all students of UNIZIK who have made at least part payment of their school fees for the 2025/2026 academic session. Students who have not paid any portion of their fees should ensure that they complete their payment promptly to avoid being blocked from course registration.
Students are reminded that course registration is compulsory for both returning and new students. Returning students must ensure that any carry-over courses from previous sessions are also registered. New students, including fresh entrants admitted for the 2025/2026 academic session, are required to follow the same registration process.
Steps for Course Registration
To successfully register for courses, students should follow these steps:
-
Log in to Your JAMB or UNIZIK Portal: Use your valid student login credentials to access the University’s registration portal.
-
Check Your Dashboard: Ensure that all courses you intend to register are visible and available on your dashboard.

Select Your Courses: Carefully select all mandatory and elective courses for your programme. Double-check course codes, titles, and units to avoid errors.
-
Submit Registration: After selecting all courses, submit your registration to complete the process.
-
Print Confirmation: Always print or save a copy of your registration confirmation as proof of completion. This may be required for future reference, including examinations and academic clearance.
What to Do If Courses Are Missing
Some students may encounter situations where certain courses are not visible on their dashboards or unavailable for registration. In such cases:
-
Students should immediately contact their Head of Department (HOD) for guidance and support.
-
HODs are responsible for assisting students to resolve registration issues, including course allocation and academic advisement.
-
Students are encouraged not to delay in reporting these issues, as last-minute requests may not be accommodated.
Technical Support
For any technical challenges during course registration, students can access UNIZIK’s official support portal at:
The support portal provides guidance on:
-
Login problems
-
Portal errors
-
Course registration issues
-
Technical troubleshooting
Students experiencing difficulties should use this platform to seek assistance promptly.
Tips for a Smooth Registration Process
To ensure that course registration is completed successfully and on time, students are advised to:
-
Verify Fee Payment: Ensure your school fees are fully or partially paid as required before attempting registration.
-
Plan Early: Begin registration well before the deadline to avoid last-minute portal congestion.
-
Check for Errors: Carefully review course selections, units, and schedule clashes. Mistakes can affect academic progression.
-
Keep Records: Save copies of registration confirmations and fee payment receipts.
-
Seek Assistance: If you encounter problems, do not wait until the last day to seek help from your HOD or the support portal.
Following these steps will minimize challenges and guarantee a smooth registration process.
Consequences of Missing the Deadline
The University has clearly stated that the registration portal will not be reopened after Thursday, 18th December 2025. Students who fail to complete registration by this date will face the following consequences:
-
Ineligibility to Attend Lectures: Only registered students can attend academic sessions.
-
Examination Block: Students who do not register on time will not be allowed to sit for examinations.
-
Academic Delay: Failure to register may result in deferred academic progression, potentially affecting graduation timelines.
-
Administrative Challenges: Unregistered students may face difficulties in accessing official transcripts and other academic documents in the future.
Therefore, it is critical that all students adhere strictly to the registration deadline.
Final Notes
Course registration is a critical administrative and academic requirement. UNIZIK emphasizes that all students must comply fully with the registration process to avoid disruptions to their studies.

View AllSHEHU SHAGARI UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION RELEASES ADMISSION LIST ON SCHOOL PORTAL FOR 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION
The Shehu Shagari University of Education, Sokoto (SSUES) has officially released the First Batch Admission List for the 2025/2026 academic session. This announcement marks an important milestone for thousands of prospective students who have been eagerly waiting to know their admission status into one of Nigeria’s specialized education-focused universities. SSUES, known for its dedication to teacher education, educational research, and academic excellence, continues to attract candidates across the country who aspire to build careers in education and allied fields.
The release of the first batch admission list represents the beginning of the school’s yearly admission cycle, and it provides successful applicants the opportunity to take the next step in completing their registration, validating their admission on JAMB CAPS, and preparing for eventual resumption. As always, the University emphasizes strict adherence to official processes to ensure a smooth and transparent transition for all candidates.
1. Official Announcement and Its Significance
The announcement by the Shehu Shagari University of Education, Sokoto, confirms that the institution has concluded the initial phase of its admission screening exercise for the 2025/2026 session. This first batch list includes candidates who performed strongly in their UTME, met departmental cut-off marks, satisfied O’level requirements, and were duly considered during the merit stage of the admission process.
The release of the first batch is crucial for several reasons:
a. It Marks the Start of the Admissions Cycle
Once the first batch list is out, the process of screening, verification, acceptance, and clearance officially begins. This allows successful applicants to start preparing their documents, paying acceptance fees when announced, and getting ready for registration.
b. It Allows Early Candidates to Secure Their Admission
Students who find their names on the first batch list typically belong to the merit category. This group is usually processed first because they meet all requirements without needing supplementary or catchment adjustments.
c. It Helps Candidates Plan Ahead
Knowing one’s admission status early allows students and parents to begin making decisions on accommodation, financial planning, transportation, and educational materials.
2. How to Check the Admission List
The University has made the First Batch Admission List easily accessible through its official online portal. Candidates can view the list by clicking the link provided in the announcement.
Students are strongly advised to:
-
Use a stable internet connection
-
Confirm their names carefully
-
Take note of their offered course of study
-
Proceed immediately to the next required steps if admitted
This online accessibility ensures transparency and convenience, especially for candidates who may not be able to visit the campus physically.
3. Next Steps for Successfully Admitted Candidates
After confirming their names on the SSUES admission list, candidates must complete several important tasks to validate and secure their admission. According to the University’s announcement, the first and most essential steps will take place on the JAMB CAPS Portal.
a. Accept Admission on JAMB CAPS
Every admitted candidate is required to visit any accredited JAMB CBT centre or use the JAMB CAPS platform online to accept their admission. This step is compulsory, and failure to accept admission on CAPS means the candidate will be considered NOT ADMITTED, even if their name appears on the school’s list.
Accepting admission on CAPS allows JAMB to:
-
Officially approve and validate the admission
-
Generate the candidate’s JAMB Admission Letter
-
Update the candidate’s admission status in the national database
Candidates who refuse or forget to accept their admission risk losing it permanently.
b. Print the JAMB Admission Letter
After accepting the admission, students must print their JAMB Admission Letter. This document is important for:
-
Campus clearance
-
Records with the Admissions Office
-
Confirmation of programme offered
-
Hostel allocation when applicable
-
Future documentation, including NYSC mobilization
Candidates should print multiple copies and keep them safe, as they will be needed throughout their academic journey.
4. University Admission Confirmation Will Begin Soon
The institution also announced that confirmation of admission at the University level will commence soon, and further directives will be communicated through the official channels. This stage typically involves:
a. Physical Screening of Credentials
Students will be required to present documents such as:
-
JAMB Admission Letter
-
O’level result(s)
-
Birth certificate/age declaration
-
Local government identification letter
-
Passport photographs
-
SSUES admission letter (when available)
All documents must be authentic. Any falsified result or forged document will lead to automatic withdrawal of admission.
b. Payment of Acceptance Fee
Once the school begins the internal confirmation process, students will be directed to pay the institutional acceptance fee. This fee confirms that the candidate has fully accepted the offer of admission from the University.
c. Online Registration and Course Allocation
After payment of the acceptance fee, students will proceed to the school’s registration portal to begin online registration, which includes:
-
Opening a student profile
-
Registering for courses
-
Uploading necessary documents
-
Generating matriculation details
d. Orientation and Academic Resumption
The University will later announce the schedule for:
-
Freshers’ orientation
-
Faculty briefings
-
Matriculation ceremony
-
Commencement of academic activities
Candidates are encouraged to follow only verified school announcements to avoid misinformation.
5. Important Reminders for Newly Admitted Candidates
To ensure a smooth admission process, SSUES provided several key reminders every candidate should take seriously:
a. Do Not Delay Acceptance on CAPS
Admissions are time-bound. Delays in accepting admission may cause the system to automatically revoke the offer.
b. Use Only Accredited JAMB CBT Centres
Misuse of cybercafés or unofficial agents may lead to errors such as:
-
Inability to log in
-
Wrong password resets
-
Failed uploads
-
Wrong course confirmation
Using accredited centres ensures proper handling of your details.
c. Follow Only the School’s Official Updates
Fake social media pages, impersonators, or unverified groups often mislead new students. Always rely on:
-
Official school website
-
University admission portal
-
University’s verified social media channels
d. Start Preparing Your Documents Early
Freshers should gather their credentials early to avoid last-minute stress. Missing documents may delay clearance or registration.
e. The Admission Is Provisional
Candidates must note that the offer of admission is provisional. This means it can be withdrawn if:
-
A student fails to meet the minimum admission requirements
-
A student provides false information or forged results
-
The candidate does not complete the registration process in time
6. Advice for Candidates Not on the First Batch List
Candidates who do not find their names in the first batch should not panic. SSUES typically releases multiple batches, especially for:
-
Supplementary candidates
-
Candidates undergoing JAMB regularization
-
Candidates waiting for O’level updates
-
Those within catchment or educationally disadvantaged zones
They are advised to:
-
Keep checking the admission portal regularly
-
Ensure their O’level results are uploaded on JAMB CAPS
-
Monitor their CAPS for possible changes
Remaining hopeful and proactive is essential.
7. Final Thoughts
The release of the First Batch Admission List for the 2025/2026 Academic Session marks another important step in the academic calendar of the Shehu Shagari University of Education, Sokoto. For students who have received their provisional admission, this is a moment of celebration and anticipation as they prepare to embark on a new academic journey focused on leadership, professionalism, and educational excellence.
The University’s structured guidelines — from checking admission status to accepting admission on CAPS — are designed to make the process clear, secure, and efficient. With proper adherence to the outlined procedures and continuous monitoring of official updates, newly admitted students can look forward to a smooth transition into university life.
As SSUES continues to uphold its commitment to producing highly skilled educators and scholars, the newly admitted students are encouraged to begin preparing academically, financially, and mentally for the rewarding experience ahead.

View AllUNIVERSITY OF BENIN (UNIBEN) OPENS PAYMENT PORTAL FOR NEWLY ADMITTED STUDENTS FOR 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION
The University of Benin (UNIBEN), one of Nigeria’s most reputable federal universities, has officially announced the activation of its newly upgraded payment portal for all newly admitted students ahead of the 2025/2026 academic session. This development affects both fresh 100-level students and newly admitted 200-level Direct Entry (DE) candidates who recently secured admission into the institution.
The announcement, released by the university management, marks a significant step in ensuring a smooth onboarding process for new intakes. With thousands of students preparing to resume, UNIBEN has emphasized the importance of using only the approved official payment portal for all school-charge transactions. This directive aims to protect students from fraudulent platforms, payment errors, and other complications commonly associated with unofficial channels.
1. Why the Announcement Is Important
Every academic year introduces a new set of students who must complete various registration and payment processes. UNIBEN’s management recognizes that first-time students may be unfamiliar with the online systems and procedures. By launching a modernized payment portal and providing clear instructions, the university ensures:
a. Safety and Transparency
Online payment fraud is a growing concern. Fraudulent agents and unauthorized websites often exploit new students who may not understand the correct payment process. UNIBEN’s reminder to use only the approved portal is a proactive measure to protect students financially and maintain transparency.
b. Efficient Record-Keeping
Payments made on the authorized portal are automatically linked to a student’s academic profile. This reduces errors, misplacement of receipts, and delays during clearance and registration.
c. Smooth Academic Resumption
Timely payment of school charges is a requirement for accessing many university services, including:
-
Course registration
-
Hostel accommodation
-
Faculty clearance
-
Student ID creation
-
Library services
With the payment portal now active, students can complete these processes early and avoid last-minute pressure.
d. Continuity in Fee Structure
The university reassured the public that there is no increase in school charges for the 2025/2026 session. This stability is significant for parents and guardians planning financially for their wards.
2. Overview of the Newly Upgraded Payment Portal
The payment portal, accessible via portal.uniben.edu, has been redesigned to accommodate a larger volume of students and improve user experience. Upgrades include:
-
A simplified login interface
-
Faster processing of payments
-
Enhanced integration with REMITA
-
Better error-handling and transaction tracking
-
24/7 accessibility
-
Stronger cybersecurity protocols
The portal ensures that all payments are correctly recorded and verified, helping students avoid unnecessary visits to physical offices for confirmation.
3. Who Needs to Use the Payment Portal?
The portal is specifically open to:
-
New 100-level UTME students (freshers)
-
Newly admitted 200-level Direct Entry students
These categories of students must pay their school charges as part of their initial clearance and registration processes. Returning students are expected to continue using the same system when their own payment window opens.
4. Step-by-Step Guide on How to Make Payments
To prevent confusion, UNIBEN outlined a clear and straightforward procedure for all fresh students. The steps are summarized below in simple language:
Step 1: Visit the Official Portal
Go to portal.uniben.edu on your mobile device, tablet, or computer.
Click on the Login Menu.
Step 2: Enter Your Login Credentials
Use the following:
-
User ID (Student ID)
-
Password assigned during your admission process
If you have trouble logging in, students are advised to contact the ICT support line or use the “forgot password” function.
Step 3: Navigate to Payment Menu
Once logged in:
-
Click on PAYMENT
-
Select SCHOOL CHARGES under the dropdown menu
This ensures you are paying the correct fee category.
Step 4: Process the Payment
Click on the PROCESS PAYMENT button.
This will redirect you to the REMITA payment interface — the federal government-approved payment platform used by most Nigerian institutions.
Step 5: Follow REMITA Instructions
On the REMITA page:
-
Choose your preferred payment method
(bank transfer, debit card, POS, or bank branch payment) -
Confirm the amount
-
Enter your account details
-
Complete the transaction
Once payment is successful, a receipt will be generated automatically and linked to your student profile.
5. Avoiding Payment Problems — UNIBEN’s Warning
UNIBEN strongly advised all new students to avoid using third-party agents, café attendants, or unauthorized intermediaries who claim they can make payment on behalf of students. Common risks include:
-
Incorrect payment entries
-
Fake receipts
-
Missing transactions
-
Overcharging
-
Difficulty resolving issues
To avoid being scammed, the university insists on using only:
✔ The official UNIBEN portal
✔ The approved REMITA gateway
✔ Verified ICT support lines
Students are also encouraged to keep digital and printed copies of their payment receipts for future reference.
6. What Happens After Payment?
Once payment is completed successfully, students can proceed with other registration activities depending on the stage of their documentation. These may include:
a. Clearance at Departments/Faculties
Departments will verify payment status before allowing new students to proceed with physical and online clearance.
b. Course Registration
Students who have paid their charges can register their courses for the semester.

8. Why UNIBEN’s Payment System Matters for New Students
The payment portal is not just a platform for fee collection — it is part of the university’s broader digital transformation. It supports a more efficient academic environment by:
a. Reducing Paperwork
Traditional manual payment systems involved long queues, paper receipts, and frequent errors. The digital portal eliminates these inefficiencies.
b. Enhancing Financial Accountability
Payment records are automatically stored and audited, ensuring transparency.
c. Ensuring Student Data Integrity
The portal links payment history directly to each student’s academic profile.
d. Supporting Remote Access
Students can make payments from any part of Nigeria or abroad, without traveling to Benin City.
e. Promoting a Stress-Free Clearance Process
A streamlined portal reduces confusion during resumption, allowing new students to settle quickly into academic life.
9. Advice for Newly Admitted Students
Navigating university systems for the first time can be overwhelming. UNIBEN’s management encourages all fresh students to:
-
Start payment early to avoid rush-hour server congestion
-
Double-check their Student ID before logging in
-
Avoid cybercafés that do not allow students to see their screens
-
Use secure payment cards or bank accounts
-
Store their receipts safely both online and offline
-
Follow the official UNIBEN social media pages for updates
-
Contact ICT support for any irregularities
Additionally, students should note that payment of school charges is compulsory before they gain full access to academic activities.
10. Final Thoughts
The University of Benin continues to demonstrate its commitment to academic excellence, transparency, and student-friendly policies by launching its newly upgraded payment portal ahead of the 2025/2026 academic session. The management’s reassurance that school charges remain unchanged provides further relief for families, especially at a time when economic challenges affect many households.
With clear steps, official support channels, and a secure payment system, new students are encouraged to follow the guidelines strictly to avoid complications. The payment portal is now live, and early completion of registration will help freshers begin their journey at UNIBEN smoothly and confidently.

Renewed Attacks on Schools
The closure comes on the heels of rising security threats across the country, with two mass abductions of students taking place in recent days.
In Niger State, gunmen attacked St. Mary’s Primary and Secondary School in Papiri on Friday, abducting an unspecified number of students. Witnesses said that the attackers rode over 60 motorcycles and shot the school’s gatekeeper, who sustained serious injuries.
Before that, assailants had seized 25 schoolgirls during an attack on a school in Maga town, Kebbi State.
Meanwhile, the rising tension sparked a rumour of the abduction of students in Nasarawa, claims police authorities in the state immediately dismissed.
The Nasarawa State Police Command described the report that two pupils were taken from St. Peter’s Academy in Rukubi as “false and not reflective of the true state of affairs”.
In response to the escalating threats, President Bola Tinubu directed the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, to relocate to Kebbi to oversee rescue operations.
Tinubu also postponed his planned trips to Johannesburg and Angola. The surge in school attacks and kidnappings has intensified insecurity across northern states, prompting urgent calls for coordinated action.
The renewed abduction of students is the latest in a series of kidnappings in learning institutions, dating back to 2014 when students were taken away in Chibok, Borno State.
Since then, there have been mass abductions of students across the country, especially in northern Nigeria.
Global bodies, including the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), have repeatedly condemned the kidnapping of students, asking Nigerian authorities to prioritise the safety of learners.

View AllWAEC Shifts Full CBT Examination to 2027
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has shifted the commencement of its Senior School Certificate Examinations (SSCE) in full computer-based (CBT) mode to 2027, rather than 2026, as previously directed by the Federal Government.
The 2026 May/June WASSCE will still be a test run pilot of the full-CBT format, with students having the option of sitting for their papers in either CBT or paper-and-pen format.
The Chairman of Nigeria National Committee (NNC) of WAEC, who is the Federal Government’s Nominee, Hajia Binta Abdulkadir, gave the hint on Thursday at the opening session of this year’s Annual Meeting of NNC (63rd edition) in Umuahia, Abia State.
NNC is the highest decision-making organ of WAEC for Nigeria, and the committee comprises virtually all the education stakeholders in the country. Members meet once annually on a rotational basis among the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory.
Abdulkadir, who is also a Director of Basic Education, Federal Ministry of Education, stated that NEC WAEC is aware of the concerns that the federal government directives to the examination bodies to migrate to full-CBT by 2026 have been raised among the stakeholders.
“So, I want to assure that no candidate sitting the 2026 WASSCE will be disenfranchised in any form,” she stressed.
Hajia Abdukadir explained some of the recent efforts made by WAEC towards smooth migration to full-CBT mode, including the training of senior school students on the pilot test of the use of tablets and digital style in responding to Essay Questions on a computer, among others.
Speaking on the recent review of the Basic and Secondary School Curricula, she assured that no candidate would also be restricted from registering subjects from other subject groups or distinct elective fields.
Specifically, she said “Science students are not barred from taking Economics as an elective to complete their subject selection even as the period for Continuous Assessment Scores (CASS) uploading has been extended for accurate capturing of CASS for candidates, who must take new subjects in line with the Federal Government’s approved list for the WASSCE for School Candidates, 2026.”
Meanwhile, WAEC honoured the top three candidates in its 2024 school-based May\ June exam and the two overall best special students, who are visually impaired, and some other category winners, also at the event.
Master Ajisafe Qoreebullah Olamilekan, a student of Eemaan Foundation College, Osogbo, Osun State, was the overall best in the exam nationwide and was honoured with the WAEC’s National Distinction Award
Ajisafe, who is the first born of his parents, and with a total score of 580.8535 in the exam had A1s in eight subjects including General Mathematics and English Language.
He is already studying Medicine and Surgery at the Federal University of Health Sciences, Ila orangun, Osu State.
He was accompanied to the ceremony by his parents, Mr and Mrs Ajisafe.
The second and third overall best students in the exam, who are 18- year-old Onovo Joan Eberechukwu and Master Mbah Chibukem Mac-Donald, respectively were also honoured with the distinction merit award at the event for their excellence performances.
Interestingly, all the top three are from private schools.
Also, both Joan and Chibukem, just like the Qoreebullah, who was an overall best, are studying Medicine and Surgery in the university. Joan is in the University of Lagos ( UNILAG) Akoka while Chibukem is a student of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti(ABUA).
Similarly, WAEC also honoured and rewarded the best male and female candidates who are special students in the exam. They are Master 23- year- old Ugwu Christian Chiemerie and Miss Abiodun Taye Olubunmi.
While Christian who passed out from College of Immaculate Conception, Uwani, Enugu State had a total score of 413.5326 in the exam, Taye, a student of Queen’s College, Lagos, had a total score of 429.1543. Also, while Christian is currently studying Law at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Taye is in University of Ilorin studying Guidance and Counselling.
Speaking at the event, Abia State governor, Alex Otti, commended WAEC for its strong contribution to the development of education in the country and the conduct of credible examinations.
Otti, represented by the state’s Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Elder Goodluck Chinedu Ubochi, said Abia State would continue to support the examination body in any way possible.
He particularly acknowledged WAEC for its proactive steps in strengthening the credibility of the exam, especially by introducing policies to curb malpractice and also protect the integrity of assessment processes across the country.
He said the measures are “timely, courageous and essential to safeguard the future of our young ones.”
Earlier, in his address, the Head of National Office of WAEC Nigeria, Dr Amos Dangut, said the organisation instituted the various category awards to encourage excellence and healthy competition among students and schools across the country.
He noted that the initiative had yielded tremendous results even as he congratulated all the award winners, their schools and parents.
He urged them not to rest on their oars but to work harder as they advance in their academic pursuits.
Hajia Abdulkadir commended all the awardees, urging them to keep striving in their studies and other endeavours.
She said the Federal Government would continue to support WAEC in its mandate and also ensure that Nigerian students are globally competitive.
