Al-Hikmah University, located in Ilorin, Kwara State, was established in 2005 by the Abdur-Raheem Oladimeji Islamic Foundation (AROIF). Proudly holding the title of the first Islamic faith-based university in Nigeria, the institution operates under the motto 'Learning for Wisdom and Morality'. It has rapidly expanded across three campuses (Adeta, Atere, and Igbaja) offering highly regarded programs spanning the Humanities, Management Sciences, Law, Computing, and a growing College of Health Sciences.
Al-Hikmah provides a deeply moral, serene, and academically rigorous environment guided by Islamic principles. Students are distributed across its campuses based on their disciplines—for example, Management and Agriculture students reside at the peaceful Igbaja campus, while Law and Medical students study at the Atere campus. The university enforces a strictly digitized financial ecosystem where all payments are processed through an e-portal. Students can choose from a wide variety of accommodation tiers, ranging from standard ₦75,000 rooms to premium ₦500,000 medical suites.
💡 Pro Tip: Admission into Al-Hikmah University is inclusive but heavily dependent on the chosen course. A JAMB score of 140 secures eligibility for most programs, but candidates eyeing competitive programs must meet higher benchmarks: Nursing (220), Law (180), and Computer Science (160). Ensure you have a strict O'Level credit in English Language (and Mathematics for Science/Management/Social Science courses). When applying, remember that all financial clearance, including your ₦70,000 acceptance fee, must be handled directly on the university's e-portal to avoid fraud.
Direct Entry admission is available for applicants with suitable qualifications (such as ND, NCE, IJMB, or A'Level passes in relevant subjects) who have successfully obtained the JAMB Direct Entry Form.
Al-Hikmah utilizes an online application and document screening process. Candidates log onto the university portal to upload their credentials and complete the application without necessarily taking a physical CBT.
