The Federal Ministry of Education on Tuesday said it has automated the admission process into Unity Colleges.
This is as the government announced the release of admissions into the colleges across the country.
It said the initiative marked a major milestone in promoting transparency, efficiency, and optimal capacity management in secondary school placements.
A statement by the Director, Press and Public Relations of the ministry, Boriowo Folasade, said that the initiative, driven by the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, ensures that all admissions are now fully automated and strictly conducted within the approved capacity of each school, eliminating previous challenges of overstretched facilities.
Speaking on the significance of the reform, Dr. Alausa stated, “This reform guarantees fairness, operational efficiency, and sustained quality in our Federal Unity Colleges.”
The statement said that the current admission exercise covers 80 conventional Federal Unity Colleges (Junior Secondary School 1), while admission into the remaining 42 Federal Technical Colleges under the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme will be released in due course.
The Director of Senior Secondary Education, Hajia Binta Abdulkadri, said the automation is a game-changer.
She said, “The new system ensures that admission aligns with each school’s capacity, creating a better learning environment for students.”
The statement added, “This reform is expected to streamline the admission process, improve accountability, and uphold the highest educational standards across Federal Unity Colleges nationwide.
“Parents, guardians, and students are advised to check admission results on the Ministry’s official website: www.education.gov.ng.
“The Federal Ministry of Education remains committed to providing quality education within a safe, conducive learning environment for all Nigerian children.”
