The FCT College of Nursing Sciences in Gwagwalada, Abuja has released the admission list for its Basic Nursing programme covering the May 2026 intake.
Candidates named on that list have been offered places on the programme, and what follows sets out the documents, fees and deadlines attached to taking one up.
Several of those steps run in a fixed order, so read the sections below before travelling to the college rather than afterwards.
Admission Formalities and Requirements
Candidates who have been accepted must appear in person at the Principal’s office with the relevant paperwork to get their admission letters. The documents consist of the following:
- Electronic receipt of payment of the Acceptance Fee
- Admission letter
- Birth Certificate
- State of Origin certificate
- Primary School Leaving Certificate
- WAEC/NECO/NABTEB Certificate
- Secondary School Testimonial
Candidates are to bring along the originals and photocopies of these documents for verification and file opening in the school.
Acceptance Fee and Resumption
Accepted candidates must pay an acceptance fee of fifty thousand naira. The payment receipt then has to be presented at the school, where it is converted into a treasury receipt.
Registration and resumption begin on 5 June 2026, so allow time for the payment and the receipt conversion before that date.
It’s vital to remember that failing to resume by June 19th 2026, or two weeks beyond the scheduled resume date, may result in the forfeiture of the entrance.
Due to a limited number of rooms, reservations will be made on a first-come, first-served basis.
Payment Process on the Remita Platform
To make your Acceptance Fee payment, follow these steps:
- Check out www.remita.net
- Select “Pay TSA & States”
- “FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORY ADMIN” should be selected.
- Go to “who do you want to pay” and select FCT Health and Human Services Secretariat.
- Choose “ACCEPTANCE FEE” under “name of service/purpose.”
- To create a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR), provide any additional payment information required and press “SUBMIT”.
- To finalize your payment, use the RRR at any bank branch you choose.

Starting at FCT College of Nursing Sciences Gwagwalada
Treat the two week limit as firm. An admission not taken up by 19 June 2026 may be forfeited regardless of how the candidate appeared on the published list.
Act early on accommodation as well, since rooms are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis rather than reserved in advance.
Congratulations to all the candidates selected for the Basic Nursing programme at the FCT College of Nursing Sciences, Gwagwalada.
