Overview

Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), originally founded as Ogun State University in 1982, is a premier state-owned institution. Renamed in 2001 to honor the former civilian governor, OOU has grown into a massive academic powerhouse with a robust alumni network, operating a unique multi-campus system spread across Ago-Iwoye, Sagamu, Ibogun, and Ayetoro.

Because of its multi-campus structure, student life at OOU varies heavily depending on your discipline. The Main Campus (Permanent Site) in Ago-Iwoye is a bustling, metropolitan hub of Arts, Sciences, and Social Sciences. Meanwhile, Engineering students experience focused, practical training at Ibogun, Agricultural students reside in the serene Ayetoro campus, and Clinical/Medical students study closely with the teaching hospital in Sagamu.

💡 Pro Tip: To secure admission into OOU, making the university your first choice is non-negotiable. Ensure you prepare thoroughly for their Post-UTME, as OOU relies heavily on an aggregate of your UTME and Post-UTME scores. For Direct Entry candidates, ensure all your certificates are fully uploaded to JAMB CAPS, as you will still be required to participate in the internal screening. For clearance, be aware that you will need an Ogun State Tax Receipt (₦10,000) or a valid Tax Clearance Certificate alongside your standard academic credentials.

Admission Requirements

Candidates must possess a minimum of five (5) O'Level credit passes (WASCE/NECO) including English Language and Mathematics at not more than two sittings, and must be at least 16 years of age by September of the admission year. Note: Foreign candidates and candidates with disabilities are exempted from the PUTME screening.

Direct Entry Rules

Direct Entry (DE) bypasses the UTME and grants admission into 200-Level. Candidates must possess relevant qualifications (A-Level, IJMB, JUPEB, OND, HND, NCE, or a first degree) meeting specific departmental CGPA/grade requirements. Applicants must register via the JAMB Direct Entry portal, select OOU as their first choice, and upload all academic credentials (including O'Level results) to JAMB CAPS.

Post UTME Screening Format

OOU conducts a mandatory Post-UTME screening for both UTME and Direct Entry candidates. Upon provisional admission, candidates must pay the acceptance fee via WEB or POS, then proceed to the Academic Affairs and Faculty Offices for verification. Required documents include: Verification Form, Acceptance Receipt, UTME/DE & PUTME Slips, O'Level Results, Entry Qualification Certificates (for DE), Birth Certificate, JAMB Admission Letter, and a Tax Clearance Certificate or Ogun State Tax Receipt (₦10,000).
