AskFUTAAkure · Ondo State · Nigeria
The senior in your phone who actually knows FUTA.
You'll message AskFUTA on WhatsApp like you're messaging a course-mate. It answers. No app, no sign-up, no "kindly be informed" emails.
Why this exists
Because the bursary queue is two hours long. Because nobody in your class actually knows the SIWES date either. Because CDC doesn't pick calls and the level adviser is in a different faculty today. Because your senior graduated and took all the answers with him.
I built AskFUTA as a student, an IFT student, actually, because I got tired of ten WhatsApp groups and still not finding the answer. If you also got tired, this is for you.
Real questions
What it actually sounds like
Bursary, 2:47pm
I paid my fees two weeks ago and the portal still says unpaid abeg
Check that your RRR code on the receipt matches the one on the portal, if it matches, send it to bursary_admin@futa.edu.ng with your matric number. They reconcile Remita payments twice a week. Give it 48 hours before you follow up in person.
200L IFT student, 9:12am
when is siwes registration opening this year
For SOC (IFT, CSC, SEN, CYB, ITC): online registration via eportal opened last week and closes Friday. You need to upload your logbook PDF and your industrial attachment letter. No late entries, they're strict about this one.
fresher, Obakekere
how do i get to south gate from my hostel without transport money
From Obakekere walk down to the T-junction, turn left at FUTA junction. It's a 20-minute walk to South Gate. Avoid the road behind the farm at night.
