"The management of FUTD wishes to inform the general public that the university is now on the JAMB portal,’’ the vice-chancellor of the Federal University of Transportation says.

Intending undergraduates wishing to change from their original university choice to the newly-established Federal University of Transportation, Daura (FUTD), Katsina State, can now do so on the JAMB portal.

“JAMB candidates who wish to join the university with the aim of building a career in the transportation industry can now visit the JAMB portal for a change of institution and programme of their choice,’’ he stressed.

Mr Adam-Katsayal listed programmes offered by the university to include B.Eng. Civil Engineering; B.Eng. Electrical and Electronics Engineering; and B.Eng. Mechanical Engineering.

Others, he said, are B.Eng. Mechatronics Engineering; B.Eng. Railway Engineering; B.Eng. Highway Engineering; B.Sc. Aviation Management; and B. Sc. Transport Management; B.Sc. Logistics and Supply Chain Management.
