The Federal Government has released the 2026/2027 admission list for admission into Junior Secondary School One (JSS1) of Federal Unity Colleges nationwide.

The list, approved by the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, is now available to parents and guardians through the Federal Ministry of Education’s admission portal and the notice boards of the respective colleges.

The development was announced in a statement issued on Monday by the ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Folasade Boriowo.

According to the ministry, the release is part of efforts to ensure a transparent, accessible and orderly admission process for prospective students.

Alausa said the release “reaffirms the Federal Government’s commitment to ensuring a transparent, accessible and orderly admission process for prospective students seeking placement in Federal Unity Colleges.”

Successful candidates are required to print their admission slips and proceed to the Federal Unity College indicated on the slip to confirm their placement and complete the necessary admission formalities.

Parents and guardians have also been advised to check the admission status of their children and wards promptly and ensure that successful candidates report to their assigned colleges as required.

How to check the admission list

Candidates and their parents can check the admission status and print admission slips through the Federal Ministry of Education Posting Portal at fmeposting.com.ng/auth/login.

The admission exercise follows the 2026 National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE), which serves as the basis for selecting candidates for admission into JSS1 of the Federal Unity Colleges.

The examination was conducted by the National Examinations Council (NECO) across the country.

A total of 60,357 candidates registered for the 2026 NCEE, while 56,950 candidates sat for the examination and 3,407 were absent.

The figures highlight the continued demand for admission into the Federal Unity Colleges, which are among the Federal Government’s major secondary education institutions.

The colleges are spread across the six geopolitical zones and were established partly to promote national integration by bringing together students from different parts of the country.

Admission is conducted under an approved quota system designed to balance merit with the principle of equality among states and other considerations.

The Federal Government has continued to emphasise transparency in the admission process, particularly amid concerns about access to quality public secondary education and equitable opportunities for children across the country.

Congratulating the successful candidates, Alausa urged them to approach their studies with “diligence, discipline and commitment to excellence.”

He also encouraged the newly admitted students to make the most of the opportunity and uphold the standards expected of students in the Federal Unity Colleges.

Parents and guardians are expected to complete the confirmation and other admission formalities at the colleges indicated on the admission slips.

The ministry urged candidates and their parents to comply with the reporting requirements to avoid delays in completing the admission process.
