Why this site exists
NOUN's own pages leave gaps. We fill them, with sources.
nou.edu.ng still carries a fee schedule from December 2022 that no longer matches what the portal charges, an Admission Requirements page that returns empty, and, when we checked, betting links injected into some pages. None of that is a reason to avoid NOUN. It is a reason to have one place that reads the official documents carefully.
- Primary sources onlyNOUN's own documents and the student portal, linked on every page.
- DatedEach page says when it was last checked, so you know how fresh a figure is.
- Honest about gapsWhere NOUN has not published something, we say so instead of guessing.
