This guide covers everything you need to know before you travel to Azare: who qualifies, the O’Level requirements, how the physical application works, what the screening involves, and why the Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences is one of the most respected nursing training institutions in Bauchi State and the North East.
About the Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences
The Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences is a nursing training institution located within the premises of the Federal University of Health Sciences Teaching Hospital (FUHSTH) in Azare, Bauchi State. The college is named after Adamu Adamu, the former Nigerian Minister of Education, reflecting the institution’s significance to healthcare training in the North East.
The FUHSTH Azare was formerly known as the Federal Medical Centre, Azare, before its upgrading to a full university teaching hospital. Operating within this federal teaching hospital environment gives students access to a clinical training setting that is richer and more diverse than most state-owned standalone nursing colleges in the North East.
The college is approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) for its nursing programmes and has consistently trained nurses who go on to serve across the healthcare systems of Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe, and surrounding states in the North East, as well as in federal government facilities across Nigeria.
Programme Available for 2026/2027
National Diploma in Nursing (ND Nursing) This is the core nursing training programme currently open for the 2026/2027 session. The ND Nursing programme leads to the NMCN Final Qualifying Examination and registration as a Registered Nurse (RN) upon successful completion.
The Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences also runs a Basic Midwifery programme on a separate admission cycle. The midwifery form is not part of the current 2026/2027 ND Nursing exercise. Candidates interested in midwifery training should monitor the official college channels for the next midwifery admission announcement.
Eligibility Requirements for Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences 2026/2027
All of the following conditions must be satisfied before you travel to Azare to purchase the form.
JAMB Score and First Choice Requirement You must have sat for the 2026 JAMB UTME and scored a minimum of 150. The Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences accepts only first choice candidates for the ND Nursing programme. If you did not select the Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences as your first choice institution during JAMB registration, you are not eligible for this exercise. The college has explicitly stated that only first choice candidates will be considered.
This first-choice-only policy is stricter than most nursing colleges in this series. KGSCNM Obangede accepts second choice candidates. The Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences does not. Confirm your JAMB institution selection status before you spend money travelling to Azare.
O’Level Requirements You must possess a minimum of five credit passes in the following subjects:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Biology
Results must come from WAEC or NECO in not more than two sittings. NABTEB results are accepted at the Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences but only in one sitting. You cannot combine NABTEB with WAEC or NECO. If presenting NABTEB, all five required credits must appear on that single NABTEB result.
The Physical-Only Application Process
This is the most important operational detail in this guide, and it is the feature that makes the Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences the most logistically demanding nursing college application in this series.
There is no online application for the Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences 2026/2027 ND Nursing exercise. No portal. No Remita payment link. No WhatsApp submission. Every interested candidate must physically travel to the college in Azare, Bauchi State, and visit the Admission Office to purchase and submit their form.
Here is the complete application process:
- Travel to the Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences, Federal University of Health Sciences Teaching Hospital, Azare, Bauchi State
- Locate the Admission Office within the college
- Purchase the application form at the Admission Office for N10,200 cash
- Collect the form along with any accompanying instructions
- Fill out the form accurately with your personal, academic, and JAMB details
- Attach photocopies of all required credentials to the completed form
- Submit the completed form with all attachments at the Admission Office
- Collect your acknowledgement receipt after form submission
The N10,200 is paid in cash at the Admission Office during your visit. Payment by bank transfer or Remita is not available for this exercise. Bring exact cash or slightly more, as the Admission Office may not have change for large denominations.

Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences vs Other Active North East Nursing Schools
Candidates in the North East comparing their nursing college options need a clear picture of how this institution stacks up. Here is a direct comparison.

| Contact | 08125622525 | conmmaid.admissions.cloud | tarabascnm.edu.ng |
The major differentiator for the Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences in this comparison is the federal teaching hospital environment. Nursing training inside FUHSTH Azare gives students access to a significantly wider range of clinical departments and patient presentations than most state-owned nursing colleges in Bauchi, Gombe, or Yobe can offer.
The physical-only application requirement is the operational barrier. Candidates from outside Azare must budget for transport, accommodation in Azare if needed, and the time required to travel, purchase the form, fill it out, and submit it. For candidates who live close to Azare, this is a minor inconvenience. For candidates travelling from Maiduguri, Bauchi city, or Gombe, it requires a planned day trip or overnight stay.
Documents to Bring When You Travel to Azare
Do not travel to Azare unprepared. Bring all of the following with you on your form purchase and submission trip:
- Original and photocopies of your O’Level result certificate (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB)
- 2026 JAMB result slip showing your score of 150 or above and the Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences as your first choice
- Birth certificate or sworn declaration of age
- Secondary school testimonial or school leaving certificate
- Recent passport photographs (typically two or three are required)
- N10,200 in cash for the form fee
Having all of these with you on the day you visit the Admission Office means you can purchase, complete, and submit your form on the same trip rather than making multiple journeys to Azare.

Career Prospects After the Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences Programme
Graduates of the Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences leave with NMCN registration as Registered Nurses and an NMCN-approved diploma qualification. Within Bauchi State and the wider North East, employment opportunities exist at FUHSTH Azare itself, the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH) in Bauchi, state government hospitals across Bauchi, Gombe, and Yobe, and at the growing number of federal institutions and health facilities in the region.
The North East healthcare employment market has a persistent shortage of trained nurses. CONMMAID-trained nurses and Adamu Adamu College of Nursing Sciences graduates who choose to build their careers in this region enter one of the most undersupplied nursing employment markets in Nigeria, which translates to strong and sustained demand for their qualifications.
For graduates who want to pursue international nursing careers, NMCN-registered nurses from approved Nigerian nursing colleges are eligible for licensing adaptation in the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, and other Commonwealth healthcare systems.
