Abdullahi Fodio University of Science and Technology, Aliero (AFUSTA, formerly KSUSTA) has opened Post-UTME/DE screening for the 2026/2027 session. Registration runs from Monday, 27th July to Monday, 31st August 2026, costs ₦2,000, and happens entirely online through applicant.safapply.com/ksusta. If you scored at least 150 in UTME and chose AFUSTA as first choice, or you hold a Credit/Merit HND, ND, NCE, or IJMB result, you’re eligible.
If you scored 150 or above in this year’s UTME and put the school formerly known as Kebbi State University of Science and Technology as your first choice, there’s something you should know before you start panicking. The registration link for the new Post-UTME screening still has “ksusta” written all over it. That’s not a mistake, and it’s not a scam link either. The school changed its name to Abdullahi Fodio University of Science and Technology, Aliero (AFUSTA) a while back, but the backend systems, the portal address, the admission email, haven’t fully caught up yet. So when you click through and see “ksusta” in the web address, relax. You’re in the right place.
With that cleared up, here’s what the Registrar’s office actually said.
Who Can Apply, and When
AFUSTA has opened online screening for candidates who chose the university as their first choice in the 2026 UTME and scored at least 150. Direct Entry candidates are eligible too, as long as they hold a Credit or Merit pass in HND, ND, NCE, IJMB, or something equivalent from a recognized institution.
Registration opened Monday, 27th July, and closes Monday, 31st August 2026. That’s about five weeks, which sounds generous until you remember how many candidates wait until the last three days and then start complaining about network wahala. Don’t be that person. The screening fee is ₦2,000, non-refundable, so double-check your JAMB details before you pay.
How to Register for the Post-UTME Screening
Everything happens on one portal: applicant.safapply.com/ksusta. You start by entering your JAMB registration number to confirm eligibility, then click “More Information” beside your course to see its specific requirements, fees, and closing date, not every course follows the exact same rules.
Once you’re satisfied, click “Apply Now.” Existing users log in with Google. New users sign up, and an activation code lands in their email, which has to be entered and confirmed before moving forward. After that comes the ₦2,000 payment. Once it goes through, you’ll see a preview of your application before clicking “Proceed to Application Form.”
One thing worth knowing before you get there: some fields in that form come pre-filled from your JAMB data, and you can’t edit them. So if there’s an error on JAMB’s end, it follows you straight into this form. Better to fix it early than try to argue with a locked field halfway through. Once everything checks out, click “Preview and Submit,” then print the completed form and keep it somewhere safe.
Notice for all candidates
Two things in this notice trip people up every admission cycle, and this one won’t be different.
First, your O’level results, WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, whatever you used, don’t go on the AFUSTA portal. They go on your JAMB profile through the CAPS e-facility, done at a JAMB office or a CBT centre. Candidates often waste days hunting for a result-upload button on the university’s own site when JAMB is the one handling that.
Second, this screening is strictly online. The notice says it plainly: don’t travel to Birnin Kebbi to “sort things out” in person, because there’s nothing physical to sort out. Save your transport money.
And once admission is offered, it won’t come as a text or a phone call. It shows up on your JAMB CAPS profile, which is also where you go to accept it.
If You Need Help
The admission office takes calls from 9am to 4pm daily on 08035894585, 08061299137, and 08037838488. You can also email admission.office@ksusta.edu.ng, still the old domain, same story as the portal link.
Five weeks isn’t forever. If AFUSTA was your first choice, get your ₦2,000 ready, confirm your JAMB details are clean, and register early enough that one bad network day doesn’t cost you your spot.
