Nigerian tertiary institutions are buzzing with activity as the 2026/2027 academic year officially opens its admission gates. Several universities and polytechnics, including PLAPOLY, FUAHSE, FUDUTSIN-MA, FUKASHERE, NPA, and UNIUYO, have announced application windows and specific cut-off marks for their ND, HND, Post-UTME, DE, Basic Studies, Pre-Degree, and Postgraduate programs. Deadlines vary, with some closing as early as July 2026. Concurrently, many institutions are resuming second-semester activities, emphasizing strict attendance policies. The recent 2026 WASSCE is also a major talking point, receiving praise for its CBT implementation but facing criticism for logistical issues that led to unusual nocturnal examinations. This period marks a critical phase for both aspiring students and ongoing academic sessions across the nation.
