Sociology is taught under the Faculty of Social and Management Sciences at Federal University, Lokoja (FULOKOJA). Government or History is the named subject at both the O’Level and Direct Entry stages.
Mathematics sits outside the five credits and is accepted at pass level instead. That distinction between a pass and a credit is the detail candidates most often get wrong here.
Confirm that Sociology 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.
