August 18, 2025 – The Federal Ministry of Education has announced that admissions into Federal Unity Colleges nationwide are now open, following the full automation of the process aimed at improving transparency, efficiency, and capacity management in secondary school placements.
The reform was introduced by the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, who emphasized that the new system is designed to end the challenges caused by overstretched facilities.
“This reform guarantees fairness, operational efficiency, and sustained quality in our Federal Unity Colleges,” Dr. Alausa stated.
According to the Ministry, the current phase of admissions covers 80 conventional Federal Unity Colleges for JSS1 intake, while admission into the remaining 42 Federal Technical Colleges under the TVET programme will be released at a later date.
The Director of Senior Secondary Education, Hajia Binta Abdulkadri, described the automation as a significant breakthrough in education reform. “The new system ensures that admissions are strictly aligned with school capacity, creating a better learning environment for students,” she explained.
Officials noted that the automation of the admission process is expected to streamline placement into schools, enhance accountability, and sustain high standards across Federal Unity Colleges. This move also supports parents and guardians by reducing delays and ensuring that students are placed fairly and within the available resources.
Parents, guardians, and students can check admission results by visiting the Ministry’s official website at www.education.gov.ng.
