Federal University Lokoja Direct Entry Screening 2025: Full Guide for Candidates
Federal University Lokoja (FULokoja) has officially announced its Direct Entry (DE) screening exercise for the 2025/2026 academic session. This is a crucial step for candidates who applied through JUPEB, IJMB, or diploma programmes with a minimum of Upper Credit.
The university has clearly stated that this certificate verification exercise is mandatory for all eligible DE applicants before admission letters can be issued.
Who Is Eligible?
Not all Direct Entry candidates are required to attend. FULokoja has excluded Pharmacy, Nursing Science, Medicine and Surgery, Medical Laboratory Science, and Law from this year’s DE admission. If you applied for these programmes, you do not need to appear, as there are no Direct Entry slots available in these courses for this session.
Date, Venue, and Time of Screening
The exercise will run for three consecutive days at the College of Health Science Boardroom, Adankolo Campus.
- Time: 8:00 am – 6:00 pm daily

For those whose courses are not listed, the university has already given clarity—your programmes have no DE slots this year.
