The management of Osun State University (UNIOSUN) has made drug tests compulsory for all returning students before the 2026/2027 academic session begins.
The UNIOSUN drug test requirement is contained in a circular dated November 6, 2026, signed by the Registrar, Atinuke Oguntunde.
The university said the rule follows the National Implementation Guidelines on Drug and Substance Abuse in Tertiary Institutions, approved by the National Council on Education.
The test will be carried out with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA). According to the school, the aim is to stop drug use before it starts and help students stay healthy and safe.
UNIOSUN said the plan is to offer advice and support to students who need it. It added that test results will be kept confidential.
“Students must sign up for the test on the NDLEA website at https://drugandvisa.ndlea.gov.ng/ using their phone numbers and email addresses,” the university said.
After signing up and paying, students must provide their National Identification Number (NIN). Returning students must also provide their matriculation numbers.
They are then required to choose their state, the place where they want to take the test and the day they want to go.
“Once the application is done, students must print a slip. Take it to the place where they want to take the test. The test contains a urine sample. The results will be ready in five to 10 minutes. Students can then get their Drug Integrity Test certificates from their account,” the circular stated.
The certificates must later be submitted to the Registrar through the officers in each faculty.
