What you should know

As a matter of fact, Accounting is one of the most competitive courses in Nigeria. In other words, an institution that requires just 200 students per year may end up getting up to 2000 applicants for Accounting.

So to stand a good chance, we advise you to perform extremely well in your JAMB UTME and Post UTME.
