Statistics is offered by the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA). This page gathers the O’Level credits, the UTME combination, the two waiver remarks UNIABUJA attaches to the course, the Direct Entry routes and the JAMB score.
Mathematics runs through every section. It is a named O’Level credit, a named UTME paper, and it appears in each of the Direct Entry options, so it is the single subject this course will not compromise on.
UNIABUJA runs regular degree, diploma and postgraduate programmes from the Federal Capital Territory, with a Centre for Distance Learning for candidates outside the regular system. The requirements below apply to regular undergraduate entry into Statistics.

Jamb Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into UNIABUJA for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 180 or above in your JAMB result.
How Wide the UNIABUJA Statistics Subject List Really Is
The O’Level requirement is more flexible than it first looks. English Language and Mathematics are fixed, and the remaining three credits may be drawn from Physics, Statistics, Chemistry, Further Mathematics, Economics and Geography.
The UTME combination narrows that to Mathematics plus any two of Physics, Chemistry and Economics. The UNIABUJA waiver then widens it again by also accepting Biology and Geography, which opens the course to candidates from a broader science background.
Direct Entry carries three distinct options under the UNIABUJA waiver. Two A level passes in Mathematics with either Physics or Chemistry, an NCE of at least 10 points with a credit in Mathematics and another Science subject, or an ND at upper credit in Mathematics, Statistics or Computer Science.
Match your own results against whichever of those routes fits best, then confirm your JAMB score reaches 180. That is the mark UNIABUJA uses to decide who is eligible for screening.
