Paying clinical induction and provisional licensing registration fees at the College of Medicine, Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo (FUHSO), Benue State involves accessing the official university student payment portal, generating a specialized Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) billing code under the designated university revenue account, completing payment of the prescribed induction and medical regalia fees online or at any commercial bank, and submitting the confirmed transaction receipt to the College Secretary to be scheduled for the statutory Hippocratic Oath taking ceremony. All graduating medical students who have passed their final professional Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) examinations must pay this mandatory fee to secure their provisional practicing license from the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).
Completing payment via the approved electronic revenue platform guarantees instant transaction reconciliation and confirms your inclusion on the official MDCN induction register.
- Confirm that your name appears on the official Senate-approved final professional MBBS pass list published by the College Academic Board.
- Access the official FUHSO portal and log in using your student matriculation number and password.
- Navigate to the “College of Medicine / Induction Fees” section of the student portal dashboard.
- Click “Generate Induction Payment Invoice” to create your unique 12-digit Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) billing code on the Remita Platform.
- Choose your preferred payment method: debit card payment via online checkout, commercial bank branch payment, or internet banking transfer.
- Complete the payment and download the official electronic payment receipt displaying transaction status as “Successful.”
- Return to the FUHSO portal and enter your confirmed RRR code to validate the transaction and generate your official Institutional Induction Receipt.
- Complete the online MDCN provisional registration form and upload your passport photograph and verified O-Level certificates from WAEC Direct or NECO portals.
- Present the original payment receipt and completed clearance dockets to the College Secretary to collect your academic induction gown and invitation brochures.
Graduating doctors must complete payment and clearance protocols before the deadline set by the College Induction Committee.
- 12-digit Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) receipt confirming successful fee payment.
- Official FUHSO final professional MBBS examination result notification slip.

Preserving payment dockets is essential for collecting your temporary MDCN practicing license on induction day.
FUHSO bursary and college regulations stipulate that payment of induction fees must be executed exclusively through the authorized Remita gateway; cash payments to third parties are strictly prohibited and will not be acknowledged by the university.
Adhering strictly to established electronic billing procedures ensures a seamless transition into your professional medical internship career.
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?
Thank you for reaching out with this question. If your Remita payment transaction is successful at the commercial bank branch but your student/applicant portal remains unconfirmed, please follow these verified steps: (1) Confirm that the 12-digit RRR (Remita Retrieval Reference) code on your bank teller matches the invoice generated on the school portal, (2) Navigate to your applicant dashboard and click ‘Re-query Payment’ or ‘Verify Transaction’—this initiates an instant API callback to Remita servers, and (3) If the portal does not update within 24 hours, take your stamped bank receipt alongside your printed transaction slip to the university ICT/Bursary unit for manual ledger reconciliation. Never attempt a duplicate payment without confirmation from the school bursary.
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?
Excellent clarification. On the distinction between Federal and State institutions: Federal universities operate under the Federal Character Commission formula (45% Merit, 35% Catchment Area, and 20% Educationally Less Developed States – ELDS). State-owned institutions prioritize indigenes (often up to 70–80% quota) with a smaller percentage allocated to non-indigenes on open merit. However, minimum academic prerequisites, verified O-Level credits in English and Mathematics, and JAMB cut-off compliance apply uniformly across both tiers.
Insightful analysis. Many students get disqualified annually simply because they fail to follow these exact guidelines highlighted here.
