With over 70 years of nursing education history dating back to 1955, It is one of the oldest Catholic mission nursing training institutions in the South East. This guide covers who qualifies, what the ABSU affiliation means for your degree, the complete application steps, the security advisory the college has issued, and why CONSAMAIGBO is one of the most historically significant nursing degree programmes currently open in Imo State.

About CONSAMAIGBO

The College of Nursing Sciences, St. Mary’s Joint Hospital, Amaigbo, also known as CONSAMAIGBO, is a joint project of the Government of Imo State and the Roman Catholic Church of the Diocese of Orlu. It was officially opened on June 2, 1955, by the then Minister of Finance, Mazi Mbonu Ojike, making it one of the earliest nursing training institutions in eastern Nigeria.

The Amaigbo community provided the land on which the school was built, and the college has served as a healthcare training anchor for the communities of Nwangele Local Government Area and the wider Orlu zone of Imo State for seven decades. The college is located along Anara-Orlu Road, 500 metres behind the Nwangele LGA secretariat, in Imo State.

The college is currently affiliated with Abia State University (ABSU), Uturu, for its BNSc degree programme. This affiliation enables it to run a full Bachelor of Nursing Science degree that is conferred by a recognised federal-affiliated state university. The ABSU affiliation gives graduates a university degree alongside NMCN professional certification, distinguishing this programme from the ND/HND diploma tracks offered at most other nursing colleges in the South East.

The college is accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) for its nursing programmes. Graduates who complete the BNSc programme and pass the NMCN qualifying examination are registered as Registered Nurses (RN) with full professional recognition.

The BNSc Degree at This College: Why It Matters

This is the detail that sets this institution apart from most other nursing colleges in Imo State and the South East.

The Bachelor of Nursing Science degree at this college is not a diploma. It is a full university degree conferred by Abia State University, Uturu, one of the state universities in the South East. That distinction has significant implications for graduates.

In the Nigerian healthcare employment market, a BNSc degree carries different weight than an ND or HND nursing diploma. Degree holders are eligible for different pay grades in the public service nursing cadre, different postgraduate academic pathways, and in some international nursing markets, a pre-existing degree in nursing simplifies the licensing adaptation process.

The ABSU-conferred BNSc from this college positions its graduates at a different academic level than ND/HND diploma holders from most other nursing colleges in the South East, including those at Imo State College of Nursing and Midwifery, State School of Nursing Osogbo, and other certificate or diploma institutions. For candidates who want a university degree and NMCN registration simultaneously, this is one of the few active options in the South East for 2026/2027.

Eligibility Requirements for CONSAMAIGBO BNSc Admission 2026/2027

All of the following conditions must be satisfied before you apply.

JAMB Score and Institution Choice You must have sat for the 2026 JAMB UTME and hold a valid current JAMB result. The official college website specifies that only candidates with a current JAMB result are eligible. Candidates who chose this college as their first choice on JAMB can apply directly. Candidates who chose a different institution can still apply but must initiate a change of institution at an approved JAMB CBT centre before applying.

O’Level Requirements You must possess at least five credit passes in the following subjects from WAEC, NECO, GCE, or NABTEB:

• English Language
• Mathematics
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Physics

Credits must be obtained in not more than two sittings. NABTEB results are accepted as confirmed in the 2026/2027 admission announcement.

Primary School Certificate A First School Leaving Certificate (FSLC) from your primary school is required. This document is a mandatory admission requirement that many nursing colleges in this series do not specifically ask for. If you cannot readily locate your FSLC, begin the process of obtaining a replacement from your primary school before you apply.

Age and Identification A date of birth certificate from the National Population Commission, or a sworn statutory declaration of age or birth affidavit, is required. Ensure the document clearly states your date of birth.

CONSAMAIGBO vs Other Active South East BNSc Nursing Programmes

Here is a direct comparison with the other BNSc nursing programmes currently active in the South East.

The most important distinction is the degree affiliation. CONSAMAIGBO is affiliated with Abia State University (ABSU) while CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu is affiliated with Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK). Both produce BNSc degree holders, but through different university partnerships. For candidates in Imo State specifically, this is the most locally accessible active BNSc nursing programme with a major affiliation.

The CONSAMAIGBO Security Advisory

This deserves its own section because the college has issued an explicit and formal warning that every applicant must read before paying anything.

The college management has issued the following advisory to all applicants for the 2026/2027 exercise:

Applicants are strictly cautioned not to pay registration or application fees into any personal or private bank accounts. The management urges vigilance against cloned websites and unauthorised financial intermediaries.

The college specifically warns about cloned websites designed to look exactly like the real portal and collect payment from unsuspecting candidates. Before you pay anything, confirm that you are on the correct URL: consamaigbo.edu.ng. A cloned site might use a slightly different URL such as consamaigboo.edu.ng, consamaigbo.com, or consamaigbo.net.ng. If the URL does not match consamaigbo.edu.ng exactly, do not enter your payment details.

All legitimate payments are made through the Remita platform using a generated RRR code. If any payment channel asks you to transfer to a personal account number, it is not authorised by CONSAMAIGBO.

How to Apply: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

The 2026/2027 BNSc admission application is entirely online through the official portal. Here is the full process.

1. Verify you are on the correct official portal: consamaigbo.edu.ng/apply. Confirm the URL before entering any details.
2. Create your applicant account on the portal with your correct personal and academic details
3. Generate an application fee Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) code from within the portal
4. Complete payment using the generated RRR code through the Remita platform. Do not pay through any other channel.
5. After confirmed payment, return to the portal and finalise the digital application form
6. Upload all required documents including your O’Level certificate, JAMB result slip, First School Leaving Certificate, and birth certificate or age declaration
7. Review all entries carefully before submission. Confirm your name, JAMB registration number, phone number, O’Level results, and institution choice are all accurate and match your original documents
8. Submit your completed application
9. Save and print your application confirmation

The review step before submission is consistently highlighted by nursing colleges across this series. Submitting incorrect details causes delays that are difficult to resolve after the application is processed.

Documents Required for CONSAMAIGBO Admission

Prepare all of the following before beginning your application. Some of these are unique to CONSAMAIGBO and are not required at most other nursing colleges in this series.

• Original and photocopies of O’Level certificate: WAEC, NECO, GCE, or NABTEB
• 2026 JAMB result slip showing a valid score and correct institution selection
• First School Leaving Certificate (FSLC) from your primary school
• Date of birth certificate from the National Population Commission or sworn statutory declaration of age
• Remita payment receipt confirming application fee payment
• Application confirmation from the portal

The FSLC requirement is distinctive. Candidates who have difficulty locating their FSLC should begin the process of obtaining a replacement before the application window closes.

Career Prospects After the CONSAMAIGBO BNSc Programme

Graduates receive both NMCN registration as Registered Nurses and a Bachelor of Nursing Science degree conferred by Abia State University. That combination opens three distinct career pathways.

Within Nigeria, BNSc degree holders qualify for nursing employment across all tiers of the healthcare system, with degree-level pay grades in the public service. Within Imo State specifically, graduates have employment pathways at Federal Medical Centre Owerri, Imo State University Teaching Hospital, and the network of Catholic mission hospitals affiliated with the Diocese of Orlu, including St. Mary’s Joint Hospital itself, where the college is located.

Internationally, NMCN-registered nurses from accredited Nigerian nursing colleges are eligible for licensing adaptation in the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, and other Commonwealth healthcare systems. A BNSc specifically strengthens the credential evaluation process for international nursing markets that place a premium on degree-level academic qualifications.

For graduates who want to pursue postgraduate studies, the ABSU-affiliated BNSc from this college is the academic foundation needed for MSc Nursing programmes at Nigerian universities, something that ND/HND diploma holders cannot directly access without bridging programmes.
