University of Lagos (UNILAG) is a Federal university in Akoka, Lagos, Lagos State, founded in 1962.

University of Benin (UNIBEN) is a Federal university in Benin City, Edo State, founded in 1970. This guide covers its courses (by faculty), its admission requirements, and how its school fees work — with one honesty rule up front: no specific fee figure is asserted anywhere in this article.

School fees are what you pay per session for your education (tuition and other billed charges for that session). Acceptance fee is what you pay once, when you accept an admission offer, to confirm it and secure your place. Different purpose, different timing, different frequency — and confusing the two is how students underpay, overpay, … Read more
A remedial programme is a one-year preparatory programme, run by a university, for candidates whose O’Level results have deficiencies — missing credits, wrong subject combinations, or grades below the requirement for their target course — giving them a year to repair those deficiencies and qualify for admission into that university’s degree programmes at 100 level. … Read more

The courses below are those most consistently associated with strong professional routes, grouped by profession, with the qualification that follows the degree stated … Read more

Completing a pre-degree programme does not automatically guarantee admission: it qualifies you … Read more

Passing Post-UTME … Read more
Part-time university admission in Nigeria lets you study for a degree alongside work or other commitments, with classes scheduled outside standard full-time hours (evenings, weekends, or concentrated blocks, depending on the programme). You are admitted through the same routes as full-time students (UTME or Direct Entry, as the programme requires), study the same curriculum over … Read more
Open university admission in Nigeria — most notably through the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), a federal institution, plus NUC-approved private open universities such as Miva Open University and Iconic Open University — admits students on O’Level results without UTME, with flexible, distance-based study and examinations at study centres. It is the legitimate no-UTME … Read more
OAU’s departmental cut-offs run at the top of the federal range — 200 was the reported band for its most competitive courses in recent sessions. The institution minimum for universities is 150 (JAMB policy floor) — but that floor is not OAU’s departmental cut-off for any specific course. That single paragraph is the honest core … Read more
