This article is designed to help students who wish to study Accountancy/Accounting Faculty of Administration in the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA).
Confirm that Accountancy is still listed at UNIABUJA before you register for JAMB. Economics is the subject that matters most here, since it appears at every stage of the application.
The University was established on January 1, 1988 (under Decree No. 110 of 1992 as amended) as a dual-mode university with the mandate to run conventional and distance learning programmes.
Academic work began at the university in 1990 with the matriculation of its pioneer students. The university runs regular degree, diploma, and postgraduate programmes.
In addition, its location in the Federal Capital Territory has a Centre for Distance Learning School, which provides university education to those who cannot acquire such education through the regular university system, and to those interested in acquiring new knowledge and specialized skills.

Three credits are named outright. The second clause then defines what relevant means for National Business Certificate holders, listing Principles of Accounts, Commerce, Office Practice and Secretarial Duties.
That clause is worth reading closely if you came through a business or secretarial programme rather than a conventional secondary school.
