Last year by November, I was a newly admitted student who is offered admission into this prestigious University. It was an exasperating feelings amidst happiness and fear. I was happy because I will be moving into another citadel of learning and at same time fear engulf me because I don't know where to start since IBBUL management has no manual to guide the newly admitted student on how to go about the registration process. When you go to the Administrative Block with aim to have Matric. No. and you are told to present your SUG receipt or your Jamb Admission letter, stating clearly that you have been screened at the Faculty or you went to school security division for your ID card only to be told that you need to present your original certificates with passports. What if when you even want to pay your SUG due in cash and the fellow says he needs no cash, just your bank teller. I tell you, the experience was quite frustrating. If you have no one guiding you, you might end up doing nothing tangible the whole day.
As a result of this, I have come up with this somewhat mini briefcase for those who are newly admitted. Let me seize this opportunity to welcome you and wish you the best of success. This short Manual will address issues starting from Admission letter printing to departmental file opening. I hope it serves it aim.
Acceptance Fee
This is the first stage of your registration procedure. You will Log on to IBBUL website and click on under graduate student link. There, you will first check on your Admission Status and if your application is granted then a link will appear asking you to print your acceptance fee before you can proceed. Don't worry, just print it. During my own time, the fee was 10k but this time around, I learnt it is 10,300 naira. The additional 300 is bank charges. Welcome to IBBUL. Go to any of your desired bank to pay the amount and wait for a text message confirming your payment. Sometimes it takes 24 hours but last time, mine wasn't confirm until I went to the school ICT. So, if you paid the money and your fee isn't confirm in next 48 hours, go to the school ICT and complain. I must admit, those ICT tech are always willing to render assistance.

Admission letter
At this point your acceptance fee is confirm, you will still go back to the cafe to print your admission letter which are in three PDF document file; the admission letter itself, the Transaction ID in which you are to pay your registration fee and the other one which contains all schedule of the fee. The registration fee is as little as 5,000 naira but you see all those caution fee, kit fee, hospital fee contribute a lot to the humongous 52, 500. I would always tell Yahaya, my biz admin friend that if I have the authority to choose the fee I wish to pay for, I will screen out many things from schedule fee and at the end, after the mathematics , I will be left with just 30, 500 to pay as a new student but then, don't mind me, go straight to the bank using your TID (Transaction ID) in place of depositor name and pay your 52, 500. After the payment, Wait for another hour for IBBUL admin to send you PIN which you are to use in creating your IBBUL undergraduate account.

After the payment, Wait for another hour for IBBUL admin to send you PIN which you are to use in creating your IBBUL undergraduate account.
Again , you can't create the account until you have your Matric Number. Getting your Matric number will take you a whole day if you are lucky. Some a week and others a months. I tell you. And during all this process, you are yet to use your PIN.
One thing you must note, In IBBUL no amount is refundable. If you disclose your PIN to any other person and he uses it, you are at your own peril. OYO is your case. So, treat the pin as your second life if not first.
Faculty screening
Before going to the Admin block, you must first be screened at your Faculty level. In IBBUL, there are six Faculty. So it is better you know your Faculty and where it is located. Faculty of Education and Art is located at Kobo Campus and the remaining ones are incorporated at the school's permanent site. Hence, don't go queuing up, waiting to be screened in Faculty of Languages and Communication when you are offered to study human kinetics and health education.

Hence, don't go queuing up, waiting to be screened in Faculty of Languages and Communication when you are offered to study human kinetics and health education.
There, at the faculty, are essential document you need to present to the Faculty officer or the person in charge before you are screened successfully. You need your certify Jamb Admission letter, your school admission letter, O'level result and additional A'level result for DE students. You also need to present your Indigine letter, birth certificate or declaration of age.
The aforementioned certificate must all be in original. During my own time, a duplicate copy was not accepted. Change mantra is still in the air, I don't know if that has changed too. Any forgery found in your document or if your O'level is incomplete or fake, this might lead to termination of your admission and automatic dismissal.
SUG and other dues
Immediately after you are done with Faculty screening, I will advice you move straight to the bank and pay your SUG fee because the union on normal ground don't accept cash but only tellers. The account number is placed on both banks; the FIRST bank and UBA bank respectively. As at last time, the due is 1000 Naira and as I write this, I've not heard any plan from the union to increase the fee. If they do that, believe me, we will walk the talk and protest against it.

After the payment in the bank, you will go back to the school to present your teller to SUG financial secretary. Under the shade close to Admin Block, you will find the financial secretary desk and in turn you will be issue SUG receipt. That's after you had paid NANNIS due (for Niger state students) which is 500, MSSN 500 for Muslim and FCS due if you are Christian which I believe is also 500. In addition you will also pay NASS due 500 if you are science students, NAMASS for Management and social science students and NUESA for education and art students.
You will never be issued SUG receipt even if paid without you presenting other payment receipt for the dues I mentioned above, the reason why they do this collaboration is still unknown to me and many others. Therefore, handle all your receipt with care.

One thing again, That shade close to admin Block housed many associations and they are all there to make their association bank account smile. Shine your eyes very well when you are under that shade, if not, you might end up paying for National Association of Nupe Student while genetically you are Hausa or Birom. I tell you.
Matric Number and documentation
Now you are through with your dues, the next stage is to proceed to Admin Block, to the Academic secretary office for documentation and collection of Matric No.
Now you are through with your dues, the next stage is to proceed to Admin Block, to the Academic secretary office for documentation and collection of Matric No.
If you are lucky and you have 'leg' you'll will be attended to through the door and if you are unlucky like I was those PAs will attend to you through the window. Which ever side of the office you are attend from, don't mind them. It's part of the learning process.
Here at the Admin, you will be required to come along with 4 passport, photocopies of all your credentials including your screening acknowledgement slip and also SUG receipt . You will also be required to present all your tellers and Transaction ID, ranging from screening exercise, to acceptance TID, down to registration fee TID and teller as evidence to serve as payment for the humongous 52,500 naira. For those whom might have lost or misplaced their screening teller, better look for it though there are some instances that you will be given benefit of doubt.
If all the above conditions are fulfilled, you will be given your Matric Number. At this point, I will like to congratulate you because half of your registration process is done. You might want to take a selfie or buy any drink of your choice to calm your nerve.
Pin Activation
After your documentation and collection of Matric Number, the next process is to Activate your PIN. The PIN which I had earlier told you to handle with care. Go into any cyber cafe and log on to the school portal and click on under graduate student link. After the activation, you will fill in your personal data, upload your passport, and the courses you are to offer for the academic session. There you print your course form and personal Data. However, all business centres in Lapai are much more familiar with the process, including SUG business centre.
