Geology is taught under the Faculty of Sciences at Federal University, Lokoja (FULOKOJA). Geography is accepted at the UTME and Direct Entry stages, which widens the field beyond the laboratory sciences.
Physics does not appear in the O’Level list at all, while Biology is required there and optional later. The three stages name different subjects, so each should be read separately.
Confirm that Geology 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.
