“The 2025 Policy Meeting holds on 8th July, 2025 at Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja.

“The policy meeting is the gathering of stakeholders where policy guidelines and other relevant regulations on admission are discussed and ratified for the next academic year.

“Please note that attendance is strictly by invitation, however you can follow us on our social media handles for live coverage,” the statement read.
