The management of the Federal University Wukari (FUWUKARI) has officially announced the reopening of its Post-UTME (PUTME) Online Screening Portal for the 2025/2026 academic session.

This decision comes as a relief to several candidates who, for various reasons, were unable to complete their online screening registration during the initial period that ended on 30th September 2025. The reopening of the portal provides another opportunity for such candidates to finalize their registration process and remain eligible for admission consideration into the prestigious institution.

Official Announcement from the Registrar

According to an official statement issued by the Registrar, Mr. Usman M. Sani, the University Management reached this decision after reviewing reports that indicated some genuine applicants encountered technical or logistical difficulties while attempting to complete their PUTME registration earlier in the year.

The statement emphasized the University’s commitment to ensuring fairness, transparency, and inclusiveness in its admission processes, noting that no qualified candidate should be unfairly disadvantaged due to circumstances beyond their control.

“After due consideration, the University Management has approved the reopening of the PUTME screening portal to enable affected candidates to complete their registration. This decision aligns with our institutional values of fairness and equity in admission,” the Registrar stated.

Reopening Dates and Access Information

The PUTME screening portal will officially reopen on Monday, 3rd November 2025, and remain accessible until Monday, 10th November 2025.

During this period, all eligible candidates who were unable to register earlier are strongly encouraged to visit the University’s official portal at www.fuwukari.edu.ng to complete their registration.

Candidates are advised to ensure the accuracy of all personal and academic information provided on the portal, as any incorrect or inconsistent data may affect their admission eligibility.

Programmes with Admission Already Concluded

The management also clarified that admission into certain competitive programmes has already been concluded. Therefore, candidates who applied for any of the listed programmes below are advised not to proceed with PUTME registration, unless they intend to apply for a change of programme.

The affected programmes are:

1. Medicine and Surgery

2. Medical Laboratory Science

3. Doctor of Physiotherapy

4. Law

5. Microbiology

6. Political Science

The University stated that these departments have already finalized their admission processes based on the available quota approved by the relevant accrediting bodies. As such, further applications into these programmes will not be entertained.

Candidates who are still interested in securing admission into the University are encouraged to explore other programmes where vacancies exist. The Registrar reiterated that the University’s aim is to fill all available spaces strictly on merit and in accordance with the admission guidelines approved by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

Important Notice to All Applicants

The University’s management has emphasized that the reopened window is strictly for candidates who were unable to register previously. Any candidate who fails to complete the registration within the stipulated period—between 3rd and 10th November 2025—will no longer be considered for admission.

The Registrar, Mr. Usman M. Sani, also warned against the use of unauthorized agents or cyber-cafés who may exploit unsuspecting candidates. Applicants are therefore advised to make use of only accredited registration centers or carry out the process personally through the official website.

“Candidates must beware of fraudulent individuals who claim to have influence over admission processes. The University’s admission exercise remains transparent, merit-based, and strictly in line with JAMB and Federal Government guidelines,” the statement added.

Advice to Candidates Applying for Change of Programme

For candidates who initially applied for any of the programmes where admission has been concluded—such as Medicine, Law, or Microbiology—but still wish to gain admission into FUWUKARI, the University encourages them to initiate a Change of Programme through the JAMB portal before proceeding with registration.

This ensures that their data aligns with the new programme of choice, making them eligible for consideration during the next admission phase. The University emphasized that only candidates whose JAMB details match the programme applied for on the FUWUKARI portal will be processed for admission.

Commitment to Transparency and Quality Education

Federal University Wukari reaffirmed its mission to uphold the highest academic standards and maintain integrity in all its operations. The reopening of the PUTME portal demonstrates the institution’s responsiveness to candidates’ needs and its dedication to providing equal opportunities for all prospective students.

Over the years, FUWUKARI has established itself as one of Nigeria’s fast-growing universities, attracting students from across the nation due to its emphasis on academic excellence, discipline, and community development.

The management reiterated that the University remains committed to producing graduates who are not only academically sound but also morally upright and innovative in their respective fields.
