The Osun State University (UNIOSUN) has officially released the 2025/2026 merit admission list for candidates who participated in the recently concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) screening exercise. The announcement, made through the university’s admission office, marks the beginning of a new academic journey for hundreds of prospective undergraduates across its various campuses.
According to the statement, successful candidates can now log on to the institution’s undergraduate admission portal to confirm their admission status. This development has been eagerly awaited by thousands of applicants who sat for the screening exercise, which was conducted under strict guidelines to ensure fairness and transparency.
The university further directed all newly admitted students to pay a compulsory non-refundable acceptance fee of fifty thousand naira (₦50,000) only. This payment serves as confirmation of their provisional admission before proceeding with other registration formalities. The management warned that failure to comply within the stipulated deadline could result in the forfeiture of the admission offer.
Parents and guardians have expressed relief and joy over the release of the merit list, describing it as a significant milestone in their wards’ educational pursuit. Some of the admitted candidates, who spoke with The Nigeria Education News, expressed excitement at finally seeing their hard work pay off, noting that gaining admission into UNIOSUN had been their top priority.
The university administration emphasized that the merit list is strictly based on academic performance and compliance with admission guidelines. It also noted that supplementary lists for other categories of candidates, including direct entry applicants, will be released in due course. This, according to the management, is in line with the institution’s policy of ensuring inclusiveness and equal opportunity for all qualified candidates.
In addition to paying acceptance fees, admitted students are expected to undergo online clearance and subsequently visit their respective faculties for physical verification of credentials. The clearance process, as explained by the management, will help the university confirm the authenticity of documents submitted during the admission process and forestall cases of impersonation.
The release of the merit list has also triggered high traffic on the university’s admission portal, as many anxious applicants rush to check their status. The institution has, however, assured candidates of a seamless process, urging them to remain patient in case of network hitches.
UNIOSUN reaffirmed its commitment to academic excellence, student welfare, and transparent admission procedures. The management congratulated all admitted students and encouraged them to prepare for a rewarding academic journey. With this development, the university takes another bold step towards consolidating its reputation as one of Nigeria’s leading institutions of higher learning.

Enter 200-Level Directly! Osun State University (UNIOSUN) has congratulated all candidates offered provisional admission for the 2025/2026 academic session. The university has also reminded applicants that any candidate who fails to accept their offer before the stated deadline will forfeit their admission.
According to the university management, candidates offered admission since 27 September 2025 (MERIT list) and 12 October 2025 (First Supplementary list) are expected to have accepted their offers through the JAMB Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
To maintain fairness and allow timely processing, UNIOSUN requires that all provisional offers be accepted within two weeks of release. This enables the university to forward accepted candidates to JAMB for final approval.
The management has set 12:00 noon, Monday, 27 October 2025, as the final deadline for candidates to accept their admission offers. Any applicant who does not take action by this date will automatically forfeit the opportunity.
Candidates are therefore advised to log in to their JAMB CAPS portal immediately and click “ACCEPT” to confirm their offer. Those who encounter technical issues are encouraged to visit a JAMB-accredited CBT centre for assistance.
The management of UNIOSUN congratulates all newly admitted students for their success in the 2025/2026 admission exercise. The university looks forward to welcoming them to campus soon and urges them to complete all acceptance and registration processes on time to secure their place.

A civil society body, The Osun Masterminds (TOM), has described as outrageous the situation where the state government is charging as much as ₦1.3 million as tuition fees in state-owned universities, particularly the University of Ilesa (UNILESA).
The Executive Director of TOM, Prof. Wasiu Oyedokun-Alli, said in Osogbo that the outrageous tuition fees, if not reviewed, may push education beyond the reach of the common man. He called on the state governor, Ademola Adeleke, to quickly review the fees at UNILESA and the Osun State University (UNIOSUN). New tuition at UNIOSUN for 2025/2026 shows that fresh students will pay over N1 million.
“How will struggling families who see education as route to escape poverty have access to higher education when a state like Osun charge tuition as high as ₦1.3 million from students?” Oyedokun-Alli queried.
“We are using this opportunity to call on the Osun State Government to regulate the fees of these public institutions so that education is not moved out of the common man’s reach,” he said.
In early October 2025, some undergraduate students of UNIOSUN, who are required to pay as high as ₦940,000, took to social media platform X to plead with the state government to make education affordable for the less privileged.
Omolewa, who said her parents could not afford the new tuition fee, said:
Please help ,if the fee remains 940 thousand ,that means I’m not going to school this .. This thing is not about God will provide ,to be sincere my family can’t get 940k ,hostel fee not included oh now I feel bad for choosing the school.
Another user, Abideen, said:
Where is this country going to end with the way things are going all because of selfishness and greediness, I know one fact very soon the poor won’t be able to cope again and it would result to unsettling rage which will collapse the whole country by then it will be too late.
Another user, who looked at the exorbitant increase from a political perspective, stated that the increment may be due to the failure of the federal government to release local government allocations to the state government, “As tinubu no gre release local government funds he wants to use una head to get it back”.
Meanwhile, the state government has remained silent since the increment, leaving students and parents in limbo.
Recall that the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) raised a similar concern a few weeks ago, describing the latest tuition increases by some state governments as a move that could overburden the Fund’s capacity.
