Chemistry is taught under the Faculty of Sciences at Federal University, Lokoja (FULOKOJA). Agriculture is accepted at the UTME and Direct Entry stages, which is unusual for a chemistry degree.
Physics is absent from the O’Level list but present in both later stages. Reading the three sections separately is the only way to be sure your subjects count where it matters.
Confirm that Chemistry appears on the current FULOKOJA course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination. A course entered in error cannot be assessed against these conditions.
