Zoology is taught under the Faculty of Sciences at Federal University, Lokoja (FULOKOJA). Biology sits at the centre of the requirements, with the supporting sciences left open at both the O’Level and UTME stages.
Direct Entry is the only route that accepts Zoology or Botany in place of Biology. Candidates with advanced level passes in those subjects should read that section carefully.
Confirm that Zoology 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.
