6 requirements you MUST meet to gain admission into higher institutions

To gain admission into any university in Nigeria, you are expected to meet these six general admission requirements.

Almost all higher institutions in Nigeria have six basic requirements for secondary school leavers who are seeking admission into their schools.

Admission seekers are expected to meet all these requirements before a university or polytechnic could consider them for any program.

These same conditions are applicable to the highly competitive institutions and those considered as second choice universities.

University of Lagos, UNILAG,  is one of such institutions that is very competitive and like other institutions, there are six basic conditions you must meet to get admission into any Nigerian higher institution.
