The Federal Government has commenced a fully automated admission process for Federal Unity Colleges across the country, aimed at improving transparency, efficiency, and capacity management in secondary school placements.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Director of Press and Public Relations at the Ministry of Education, Boriowo Folasade, said the reform was introduced under the leadership of the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa.
According to the ministry, the initiative eliminates the problem of overcrowding in Unity Colleges by ensuring admissions are strictly within each school’s approved capacity.
Dr. Alausa described the reform as a guarantee of “fairness, operational efficiency, and sustained quality” in the colleges.
The current cycle covers 80 conventional Federal Unity Colleges for Junior Secondary School 1, while admissions for 42 Federal Technical Colleges under the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme will be released later.
Director of Senior Secondary Education, Hajia Binta Abdulkadri, hailed the automation as a “game-changer,” saying it will streamline the process, strengthen accountability, and create better learning environments for students.
The ministry added that parents and students can check admission results on its official website, reaffirming its commitment to delivering quality education in safe and conducive environments nationwide.
