Federal University Lokoja (FULOKOJA) has announced that the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme will not be available for the 2026/2027 academic session admission exercise.
The notice affects prospective students who selected MBBS as their course of choice, as they are advised to complete a Change of Course on the JAMB portal and choose another relevant programme before taking part in the university’s Post-UTME screening exercise.
What has FULOKOJA announced about MBBS admission?
FULOKOJA has said MBBS will not be part of the 2026/2027 screening exercise.
This means candidates who chose MBBS need to move to another programme of study, as the university’s screening process will require them to select a relevant alternative course from the available list on the screening tab.
Who is affected by the FULOKOJA MBBS notice?
The notice applies to all prospective students who initially selected MBBS as their preferred course at Federal University Lokoja.
Affected candidates are advised to act early, since their Post-UTME screening participation depends on selecting another relevant programme through the proper channel.
What does the FULOKOJA portal notice say?
According to the portal update, FULOKOJA stated:
“IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that MBBS will not be offered in the 2026/2027 screening exercise. To ensure your participation, kindly select a relevant alternative programme from the drop-down list on the Screening TAB.”
The message gives affected applicants a clear action point, as MBBS candidates are expected to choose another programme from the screening tab.
What should affected candidates do now?
Affected candidates should complete the Change of Course process before the screening window closes.
- Log in to the JAMB portal or visit a registered JAMB CBT centre for help with the Change of Course process.
- Apply for a Change of Course from MBBS to another programme of study.
- Choose a relevant alternative programme offered by FULOKOJA.
- Return to the university’s screening tab and select the alternative programme from the drop-down list.
Candidates should make sure the course chosen on JAMB matches the option selected on the FULOKOJA screening tab, where applicable, so that the screening record remains consistent.
Which alternative course should candidates choose?
FULOKOJA has directed affected candidates to select a relevant alternative programme from the drop-down list on the screening tab.
The notice does not name specific alternative courses, so candidates should rely on the available options shown on the screening tab and ensure the chosen programme is suitable for their admission plan.
Why is the Change of Course needed?
The Change of Course is needed because MBBS will not be available for the 2026/2027 screening exercise.
A candidate who still has MBBS as the course of choice may not be able to complete the screening process properly, since the university has asked affected applicants to select another relevant programme before participation.
What may happen if candidates delay?
Candidates who delay may miss the 2026/2027 screening and admission window.
The management has urged affected applicants to act swiftly, as the notice is tied to Post-UTME screening eligibility and course selection for the admission exercise.
