The buzz is real this time. Abia State University (ABSU) has quietly begun its online screening for the 2025/2026 academic session. No big announcement, no drama — just a simple call to action for students who want in.
Whether ABSU was your first, second, or even “I-never-put-am-before” choice, the school is giving room to apply. As long as your UTME score reads 150 or above, and you’ve got your O’Level sorted, you’ve got a shot.
Let’s be honest, some people wait too long and then start asking “they don close am?” Don’t be that guy.
Who can apply?
ABSU didn’t draw any confusing line here. The screening is open to:
- Candidates who chose ABSU as first or second choice
- Those who didn’t choose ABSU but now want to switch (you go need change of institution though)
- UTME candidates who scored 150 and above
- Direct Entry applicants
- Everyone with five O’Level credits, including English and Maths, in the right subjects
So yes, even if your earlier plans changed, and you now dey eye ABSU, the door no lock yet.

No need for long waka. You’ll do everything online, from payment to uploading documents.
Step 1: Log in to ABSU Portal
That’s where the whole thing starts. Make sure you’ve got your details handy — UTME number, email, and your results.
Step 2: Pay the screening fee
It’s ₦2,000, and you can pay through any of these:

Quick warning
If you don’t register, don’t expect admission. The school dey talk am clear. Even if you scored 300 in JAMB, no screening, no seat.
So, why ABSU?
Look, people go argue. Some will say “why Abia State?” but let’s face it — ABSU holds its own. Solid lecturers, decent learning environment, and a growing student body. If you’re ready to focus and not just do “I just want to enter school,” this might be a smart move.
