Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) has released an urgent bulletin giving admitted students from the 2021/2022 and 2023/2024 academic sessions a final opportunity to upload their credentials to the Students Registration Portal. The announcement, dated July 9, 2025, marks what the university describes as the "final opportunity" for compliance.
Background and Previous Notices
The university references earlier communications, including a special bulletin dated April 10, 2025, and a subsequent notice from May 21, 2025. These previous announcements had already requested all undergraduate students admitted in the specified academic sessions to complete their document uploads, suggesting this latest bulletin represents the culmination of an extended process.
Required Documentation
Students must upload a comprehensive set of documents to the registration portal, including:
1. JAMB Admission Letter (Compulsory for all students)
2. JAMB Result (Compulsory for UTME Students specifically)
3. Birth Certificate or Declaration of Age (Compulsory)
4. Certificate of Indigene (Compulsory)
5. O'Level Results (Compulsory)
6. A'Level Results (Compulsory for Direct Entry students)
7. National Identity Card (NIN) (Compulsory)
8. Notary Public Affidavit (if applicable)
9. Attestation documents (if applicable)
Compliance Issues and Consequences
According to the bulletin, many students have yet to complete the upload process, while others have submitted irrelevant documents that do not meet the requirements. This widespread non-compliance has prompted the university to issue this final warning.
The consequences for non-compliance are severe and clearly outlined:
1. Document Integrity: All uploaded documents must serve as student files and will be used during final screening processes
2. Deficiency Consequences: Students who fail to upload required documents will be deemed deficient and face appropriate disciplinary action
3. Immediate Action Required: Affected students must complete uploads with immediate effect.
4. Support Available: Students experiencing technical difficulties or issues with JAMB admission letters can seek guidance from the Admission Office before the deadline
5. Admission Withdrawal: Perhaps most critically, any student who fails to upload the required documents by Wednesday, July 23, 2025, faces potential withdrawal of their admission
Assistance is also offered to students who may be experiencing genuine difficulties with the upload process or documentation issues. The July 23, 2025 deadline represents a firm cutoff date, with no indication that further extensions will be granted. This gives affected students approximately two weeks from the bulletin's publication date to complete their uploads.
Implications for Students
This final notice carries significant implications for the affected student population. Those who have been admitted but have delayed completing their documentation now face the very real possibility of losing their university places.
Students who have not yet completed their uploads are strongly advised to prioritize this task immediately, while those experiencing difficulties should contact the Admission Office without delay.
