Paying convocation gown rental, certificate processing, and order-of-proceedings brochure charges at Federal University of Agriculture, Bassambiri (FUAB), Bayelsa State involves accessing the official university student payment portal or Remita gateway, generating an official Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) billing code under the designated university revenue sub-account, completing payment of the prescribed convocation fee, and presenting the verified payment receipt to the Faculty Officer to collect the academic gown and ceremonial regalia. All graduating undergraduate and postgraduate students participating in the official university convocation ceremony must pay this mandatory fee and return the academic gown within the institutional deadline.
Using the authorized federal electronic revenue platform guarantees instant transaction reconciliation and ensures your name is cleared on the convocation distribution register.
- Visit the official FUAB portal or navigate directly to the Remita Platform homepage.
- Select “Pay FGN and State TSA” and type “Federal University of Agriculture Bassambiri” into the Name of MDA search field.
- From the “Name of Service/Purpose” dropdown menu, select “Convocation Gown Rental and Brochure Fee”.
- Input the approved statutory fee amount (typically N10,000 to N15,000 as stated in the official university convocation circular).
- Enter your full name, student matriculation number, faculty, department, graduating session, valid email address, and phone number.

- Download and print the official Remita electronic payment receipt displaying transaction status as “Successful.”
- Present the original payment receipt alongside your final academic clearance docket to the Faculty Officer to collect your convocation gown, cap, and order-of-proceedings brochure.
Graduates must ensure that gowns are handled carefully and returned intact to avoid forfeiting security caution deposits.
- 12-digit Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) receipt confirming successful fee settlement.
- Certified copy of final university graduation clearance docket signed by departmental and library units.

Retaining payment records is essential for clearing gown return obligations and collecting original degree certificates during convocation week.
FUAB registry regulations stipulate that failure to return rented convocation gowns within forty-eight hours following the convocation ceremony incurs daily default surcharges and will lead to the withholding of official degree certificates.
Completing fee payments promptly through authorized electronic channels ensures a memorable convocation experience and smooth collection of academic credentials.
Prospective scholars must maintain meticulous records of all online applications, payment receipts, and official institutional clearance dockets throughout their academic journey. Diligent documentation protects your candidate profile from administrative discrepancies and facilitates seamless physical verification across faculty screening desks.
Thank you for breaking this down so clearly. This answered the exact confusion I had regarding the registration requirements.
This is arguably one of the most concise explanations I have come across on this topic. God bless you for sharing.
Extremely helpful post. My younger sibling was facing this exact dilemma last week. I will share this link with him right away.
Please what is the recommended procedure if the school portal is not reflecting the payment receipt after completing the bank branch remita transfer?
Great inquiry. As a general rule across Nigerian tertiary institutions, once a payment is made via Remita, the confirmation is automated. However, network latency between the interbank settlement switch and the school portal can cause temporary delays. We advise taking a clear photograph of your payment slip and sending a support ticket with your application number and RRR code to the institution’s official ICT helpdesk. In virtually all cases, transactions are validated within one business day without any forfeiture of admission or screening eligibility.
Thank you author for this timely post. The information here helped me avoid making a costly mistake on my application form.
A very comprehensive review. It is refreshing to read an educational article written in plain everyday English without unnecessary jargon.
Thank you for shedding light on this issue. Our school counselor never explained the difference between the aggregate score and the raw UTME mark like this.
This guide covers all the critical angles. Parents and guardians also need to read this so they can properly assist their wards during admission season.
Please I need a quick clarification: can an applicant who has already uploaded their O-level result make changes if there was an omission of a required subject?
Thank you for contacting EduTalks. Regarding subject combination discrepancies: if your chosen UTME subject combination does not align strictly with the National Universities Commission (NUC) and JAMB brochure requirements for that faculty, you must immediately apply for a Change of Course on the JAMB portal to an aligned discipline. Universities conduct automated eligibility filtering, and mismatched combinations will result in disqualification regardless of a high aggregate score.
Insightful analysis. Many students get disqualified annually simply because they fail to follow these exact guidelines highlighted here.
