    The Nigeria Maritime University (NMU), Okerenkoko, Delta State, has officially announced the opening of its online portal for the 2025/2026 Post-UTME screening exercise. This announcement, made on Friday, 15 August 2025, marks the start of a crucial phase for candidates aspiring to join one of Nigeria’s specialised universities focused on maritime studies.

    According to the institution, the portal is open to candidates who selected NMU as their first choice in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and obtained a minimum score of 160. Applicants are required to pay a ₦2,000 non-refundable screening fee via the school’s e-portal (https://eportal.nmu.edu.ng) using ATM cards or internet banking.

    The university’s official statement also urged candidates to complete their applications before the closing date of Saturday, 30 August 2025, warning that late entries will not be entertained.

    Who Can Apply and How to Register

    Eligibility is straightforward: you must have chosen NMU as your first choice in the UTME, scored at least 160, and possess a minimum of five O’Level credits in relevant subjects. These must be obtained in no more than two sittings.

    One notable aspect of NMU’s screening process is its simplicity. Unlike many other Nigerian universities, there is no need to re-upload O’Level results, passport photographs, or undergo a fresh biometric capture. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) platform already holds those records, which makes the process faster and easier for applicants—especially those in rural areas where internet and printing facilities can be unreliable.

    Here’s a step-by-step guide to registering:

    1. Visit NMU’s e-portal at https://eportal.nmu.edu.ng.
    2. Click on the “Admission Forms” section and select “Post-UTME”.
    3. Make the ₦2,000 payment online.
    4. Fill in your Bio-Data form on the portal.
    5. Submit and print your Screening Exercise Slip for records.

    This entire process can be completed from the comfort of your home, provided your internet connection is stable.

    Why This Screening Matters

    For many Nigerian students, especially those aiming for careers in marine engineering, nautical science, and maritime transport, the Post-UTME screening is more than just a formality—it’s the bridge between a good UTME score and an actual admission letter.

    NMU’s focus on a stress-free application process is a welcome change. In recent years, applicants to other institutions have often faced challenges such as duplicate uploads, multiple trips to cybercafés, and slow server responses. By integrating with the JAMB database, NMU eliminates some of these bottlenecks, ensuring a smoother process.

    However, ease of access does not mean complacency. Missing the deadline or submitting incomplete information can still cost an applicant their chance at admission. The 30 August 2025 closing date is final, and the university has made it clear that no extension will be granted.

    Key Dates and Final Advice

    Here’s a quick timeline to keep in mind:

    • 15 August 2025 – Portal officially opens for registration.
    • 30 August 2025 – Portal closes. No late registration will be accepted.

    Candidates who encounter issues during the application process are encouraged to reach out to the university’s Admissions Office via admissions@nmu.edu.ng.

    This is a vital opportunity for those who see themselves contributing to Nigeria’s blue economy and maritime development. NMU offers specialised courses that are not just academic but also industry-relevant, equipping graduates with skills in high demand locally and globally.

    If you meet the criteria, now is the time to act. Avoid last-minute registration, which often comes with problems like network congestion and payment errors. Completing your registration early gives you peace of mind and more time to prepare for the next stage of the admission process.

    For many, securing a spot at NMU could be the first step toward a career that takes them far beyond Nigeria’s shores—literally and figuratively.
