Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) NDLEA Drug Integrity Test Requirement

According to the memo dated 12 December 2025, all affected students must complete their drug test through the NDLEA Drug Integrity Test registration portal at drugandvisa.ndlea.gov.ng. The online platform allows students to register, choose a test centre and approved laboratory, fix an appointment, and receive their test notification and certificate online.

Students are required to upload a soft copy of the drug test certificate to their university portal. Registration will remain incomplete until the certificate is uploaded and verified.

This step forms part of a national drive to reduce drug abuse within Nigerian universities. Students are advised to complete the process early to avoid delays during academic registration.

Compliance with this directive is required for all students of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) before participating in academic activities for the session.
