According to the statement signed by the Students Relation Officer, Sani Sabo Idris, interested students are required to obtain, fill, and submit the attached application form along with their stamped previous semester result.

The deadline for submission is Monday, 23rd February, 2026. The circular emphasized that students who have already paid their registration fees, as well as those with a verified or disbursed status from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), are not eligible to apply.
