Geography is taught under the Faculty of Social & Management Sciences at Federal University Gashua. Geography itself is required on all three routes into the department.
Mathematics is handled separately and at pass level only. The Direct Entry list then opens the door to science subjects that the earlier stages do not accept.
Confirm that Geography appears on the current FUGASHUA course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.
