Confluence University of Science and Technology is a technical university located in Kogi State. The institution received full approval from the Nigerian University Commission for all its courses in 2024.[1][2]

History

On 19 August 2020, the Kogi State Assembly passed a bill to establish another institution in the state alongside the existing ones.[3] In 2024, the NUC approved Medicine, Law, and other core courses to be taught at the school. In February 2024, Anatomy, Physiology, and other medical-related courses were also approved.[4][5][6]

In December 2024, the conversion of the Reference Hospital, Okene, into the Confluence University of Science and Technology (CUSTECH) Teaching Hospital was signed into law by Ahmed Usman Ododo and passed by the Kogi State House of Assembly.[7][8]

Abduction case

On 13 May 2024, students were abducted on campus while they were in the school premises studying for their first-semester exam. The kidnappers entered a classroom, fired gunshots and abducted several students during the attack.

In early May 2024, an undisclosed number of students were rescued by the Kogi State Government after an encounter with the kidnappers at their hideout.[9][10]

The management of Confluence University of Science and Technology declared a three-day break to mourn the students killed during the attack.[11]

Admission

The school holds admission for students through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for 50 courses across 8 faculties in the university, with the minimum JAMB score being 140.[12]

Administration

Confluence University of Science and Technology has a Chancellor as its ceremonial head, while a vice-chancellor carries out the administrative work in the school. The tenure of office is usually 4 non-renewable years.
