University of Abuja makes it compulsory for candidates who passed their post UTME screening test and have their names on the OAU admission list to physically come immediately for clearance & registration exercise. This exercise requires the physical and online submission of original and photocopies documents for your clearance to be deemed complete in OAU.
In this post, I will be providing you with all the necessary documents required for your clearance in OAU as well as other very vital information needed to help you settle easily as an OAU fresher.
In many instances, I’ve received questions from fresh students who newly gained admission into OAU and this has prompted me to help out with this article as many others will definitely be in need of such assistance.
Below are the various questions I have been receiving from newly admitted candidates like you. Yes I use the term newly admitted candidates because your provisional admission can still be revoked if you can’t provide all necessary documents as required by the University of Abuja.
