Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu-Alike (AE-FUNAI) management informs all staff, students, and the university community of an adjustment to the 2025/2026 academic calendar. The First Semester examinations, previously set to begin on Monday, February 23rd, 2026, have been rescheduled. This decision, made by the University Senate, aims to facilitate the seamless running of crucial institutional events and provide students with optimal conditions for their academic preparations.
Updated Academic Directives
Following this adjustment, the university has issued the following guidelines for all students:
1. Continuation of Revision Classes
The period of postponement is not a holiday. Revision classes will officially resume and continue by March 2, 2026. Students are expected to use this window to interface with their lecturers and clarify complex modules before the final assessments.
2. Examination Dates
While the original start date has been vacated, a new and comprehensive examination timetablewill be released by the Directorate of Academic Planning in due course. Students are advised to monitor their departmental notice boards and the university portal for updates.
3. Completion of Registration
Management urges students who are yet to finalize their course registrations and fee payments to utilize this two-week grace period. As per institutional policy, only students with verified dockets will be permitted into examination halls.
Rationale for the Rescheduling
The two-week postponement is necessitated by a dense schedule of university-wide activities that overlap with the initial examination dates. To ensure maximum participation and administrative efficiency, the university has prioritized the following events:
-
ASUU AE-FUNAI Week: A series of academic and union-related engagements.
-
University Sports Fiesta: A week-long athletic competition designed to foster physical wellness and communal spirit.
-
Health Week: Critical health screenings and awareness programmes for the campus community.
-
Indigent Students Scholarship Programme: The finalization and awarding of financial aid to deserving students.
-
Vice-Chancellor’s Familiarization Tours: Official visits by the Vice-Chancellor to various Faculties to engage with staff and students on developmental needs.
