Overview

Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), is an elite private university founded in 2009 by the renowned lawyer and philanthropist, Aare Afe Babalola (SAN). Recognized as a benchmark for quality education in Africa, ABUAD operates a massive, state-of-the-art campus. It boasts autonomous professional colleges including the highly prestigious College of Law, a newly unbundled College of Pharmacy (Pharm.D), and a world-class Multi-System Teaching Hospital.

ABUAD provides a highly structured, secure, and fully residential campus life. The university’s infrastructure is internationally competitive, featuring modern laboratories, uninterrupted power supply, expansive agricultural farms, and luxurious hostel options ranging from standard shared rooms to single-occupancy super-deluxe suites. Students are held to high disciplinary and ethical standards, preparing them for professional excellence.

💡 Pro Tip: Admission into ABUAD is heavily sought-after. While a JAMB score of 150 grants baseline eligibility for standard programs, candidates applying for Law, Medicine, Nursing, or Pharmacy must secure high UTME scores. Critically, applicants for Law and MBBS MUST possess their 5 O'Level credits in a single sitting. You can apply with awaiting results, but past UTME results are strictly prohibited. Prepare financially for mandatory auxiliary charges like the ₦30,000 PTCF levy and ₦10,000 Medical Screening fee.

Admission Requirements

Candidates must sit for the current year's UTME (results of past UTME are not allowed). Applicants must possess a minimum of five (5) O'Level credit passes in relevant subjects (including English Language and Mathematics). For general programs, these can be obtained at not more than two sittings. However, candidates applying for Medicine & Surgery (MBBS) and Law MUST obtain all 5 required credits in exactly ONE sitting. Candidates awaiting results are eligible to apply.

Direct Entry Rules

Direct Entry applicants must possess a National Diploma (ND) with a minimum of Lower Credit, NCE, IJMB, JUPEB, or two A'Level passes in relevant subjects. Nursing DE candidates require an RN certificate or a B.Sc in a related field. Candidates must complete the JAMB Direct Entry form.
