The form is officially out and the portal is open. Fountain University, Osogbo has commenced its 2026/2027 Post UTME and Direct Entry screening exercise, and all eligible candidates are invited to apply through the official portal. This is one of Nigeria's few private faith-based universities that runs a genuinely competitive health sciences programme — particularly Nursing Science — and the screening process is straightforward once you know the requirements.
