“Don’t date your coursemates"

Let me cry first before I say anything. 😢 😭

UPDATE: HOW TO KNOW YOUR JAMB EXAMINATION DATE, TIME AND VENUE

Dear Aspirants,

After registration, the slip you receive is only a registration slip and does not contain your exam date, time, or venue.

JAMB will later announce examination slip reprinting, which is when you will get your full exam details.

Candidates who chose mock exams will first reprint the mock slip to see their mock date, time, and centre. After that, JAMB will release the main UTME slip for all candidates, showing the actual exam date, time, and venue.

‎So if you have not seen your examination details yet, it's not a problem. Simply wait for the official announcement for examination slip reprinting.

Once it's start we'll surely announce it here too

ABU raises committee on World Bank ACE Innovate Project

. Prof Raymond Bako appointed to lead the assignment

Ahmadu Bello University has set up a technical committee on World Bank ACE Innovate Project Proposal with Prof Raymond B Bako as Chairman of the committee.

The seven-member high-level technical committee is to provide technical oversight, coordination, and quality assurance throughout the proposal development process.

Specifically, the committee is to review and identify the ACE Innovate priority economic and enabling sectors that the university has competitive advantage.

It is also expected to provide technical input and support to proposal writing teams to ensure quality and consistency by reviewing and providing feedback on draft proposals.

The committee is further mandated to ensure alignment of proposals with organizational goals, World Bank requirements and best practices through identification and interpretation of World Bank guidelines.

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof Adamu Ahmed, approved the committee constitution in a letter to the chairman of the committee dated Wednesday, 18th February, 2026.

He explained that the assignment is essentially to ensure that the university submits a competitive proposal for the ACE Innovate project.

Ahmed said the World Bank, building on the success of the ACE Impact Project, proposed a follow-up project - Africa Centres of Excellence for Innovation and Economic Growth (ACE Innovate).

This is after the World Bank held consultations with relevant stakeholders at the national level towards fine-tuning the ACE Innovate concept and the eventual request for proposal call.

The new project aims to produce more skilled graduates and applied research as well as innovation and technology transfer in key priority economic regional sectors.

Such sectors, according to the Vice-Chancellor, include agribusiness, energy, healthcare, tourism, value-added manufacturing, and digital technology.
