The clock is ticking. Nigeria Maritime University, sitting quietly at Okerenkoko, is now calling on young hopefuls to step forward. If you picked NMU as your first choice in JAMB this year, and you managed at least 160, then this is your shot. Admission season has officially started.
How To Apply Without Stress
The process is straight, though it does require some patience:
- A non-refundable fee of N2,000 must be paid through the school’s portal.
- Head over to the NMU e-portal and select Admission Forms.
- Choose the Post-UTME option and click to make your payment. ATM cards and internet banking both work fine.
- Once payment is successful, return to the portal, register properly, and grab your login details.
- Print out the 2025/2026 screening slip, keep it safe.
No need to upload O’Level results or passport photographs, JAMB already has those on file.
Who Qualifies
Not everyone can jump on board. The school has set some basic lines in the sand:
- JAMB score must be 160 or higher.
- Five O’Level credits in the right subjects.
- Bio-data form must be filled in carefully.
And a warning, those who skip this screening will not be looked at later. Simple as that.
