The Management of the Federal University Lokoja (FUL) has officially announced an extension for the ongoing 2025 Post-UTME online screening exercise for the 2025/2026 academic session.
This development comes as welcome news to many prospective candidates who may have faced delays, incomplete documentation, or technical challenges during the earlier phase of the screening.
⏳
New Deadline
Originally, the deadline for the screening exercise was set for Friday, August 29, 2025. However, following appeals from candidates and in consideration of the large number of applicants yet to complete the process, the University Senate has approved an extension.
The new closing date for the Post-UTME online screening is now Friday, September 14, 2025.
This extension is designed to ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all eligible candidates, especially those who may have struggled with profile updates, slow internet access, or other unforeseen challenges.

Important Notice
The University emphasizes that this is the final extension, and no further postponement will be granted. Candidates who fail to complete their screening before the new deadline will be automatically disqualified from the admission process, regardless of their UTME score.
To avoid last-minute rush and possible errors, candidates are strongly advised to complete the process as early as possible. Applicants should:
Log in to the official FUL admission portal.
