Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), Bauchi has issued an important notice to all newly admitted students for the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 academic sessions. The University has instructed that every student must submit their JAMB admission letter to the Academic Office promptly.

EducationNGR reports that this submission is a mandatory step in the registration process. Students who fail to present their JAMB admission letters may encounter difficulties completing their registration for the upcoming academic session.

• Complete the submission before registration begins for the 2025/2026 academic session.
