University of Abuja - Uniabuja Speciality : Education
programme: Education Management

University of Abuja has been a the first school my mentor recommended for me while I was applying for higher education but I got discouraged because of the distance, I was residing in Lagos then. So, I decided to choose closer university like Unilag and University of Ibadan. Unfortunately, I was not given admission.

The following year, I was opportuned to meet a friend who came to Lagos from University of Abuja to spend his holiday. I had the opportunity to inquire about the school and their programs. I was so astonished and impressed with the school calendar and simplicity of life and highly recommended programmes of the school. So, I put in the interest again to apply and I was so happy to have been given admission.

Although, I applied for Law, it wasn’t given and I got offered for Education Administration and Planning. I should rather thank the school for that because I really love the course and I was able to make it with second class upper credit.

We had dedicated and caring lecturers most especially departmental professors like Prof Gabadeen, Prof Hauwa Imam, Prof Hauwa Abdullah, Dr. AbdurRahman.

We were given all the necessary knowledge and information to excellent in our field.

The Hostel life was so nice and okay. I enjoyed the GST lecturers on Culture exposure and conflict resolution.

The one thing I really appreciate is how fast and efficient they are with academics. You don’t have to wait around forever for exam results or administrative tasks to be completed, which makes the whole process of staying on track with your studies much smoother.
On the other hand, my biggest issue is the almost constant increase in school fees. It seems like the fees go up almost every term, which puts a lot of pressure on students and their families and makes it very difficult to budget for your education.
So, would I recommend it? Yes, I would, but with a major heads-up about the financial side of things. If you’re looking for a place where you can get your degree efficiently, it’s a great choice, but you need to be prepared for the rising costs.
