JAMB CBT Centres in Ogun State for 2026

They are 75 approved JAMB CBT centres in Ogun State for 2026, grouped by town with full addresses. 

Find them below by reading this blog post. 

If you’re a 2026 JAMB candidate living in Ogun State, let me be straight with you, the exam itself is not the only thing that should be on your mind right now. Before you answer a single question, before you touch a keyboard, before you even think about which subjects to revise, you need to know where you’re going. And I mean that literally. 

Choosing the wrong centre, showing up at a registration-only venue on exam day, or worse  walking into an unapproved centre — can derail your entire university admission journey before it even begins.

I know that sounds dramatic. But every year, thousands of candidates across Nigeria make avoidable mistakes during the JAMB registration and examination process, simply because they didn’t have the right information early enough. You don’t have to be one of them.

For 2026, JAMB has approved a total of 75 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres across the state covering virtually every major town and local government area. That means no matter where you live in Ogun State, there is a centre within reach.

This guide breaks down all 75 centres for you grouped by town, complete with full addresses, and organised into easy-to-read tables so you can find your nearest option in seconds. So let’s get straight into it.

JAMB CBT Centres in Abeokuta 

Abeokuta is the beating heart of Ogun State, and when it comes to JAMB CBT centres, it dominates the entire state. As the state capital, Abeokuta hosts the highest number of approved centres  11 in total spread across educational institutions, government premises, and private ICT facilities. If you live in central Ogun State, Abeokuta is your best bet, and you have no shortage of options.

Government-Owned JAMB Centres in Abeokuta

Government-owned centres often come with more stability and better infrastructure. Here are the key government-backed options in Abeokuta:

The two FUNAAB labs together can accommodate up to 750 candidates across sessions  making FUNAAB one of the single most powerful exam venues in the entire state. If you’re in that axis, these labs offer a smooth, well-supervised experience.

Private and ICT-Based Centres in Abeokuta

Beyond the government centres, Abeokuta also has several private and ICT-oriented options that JAMB has approved:

With 11 centres in one city, Abeokuta candidates are spoilt for choice. The important thing is to confirm which one suits your location within the city. whether you’re in Oke Mosan, Obada, Ojere, Osiele, or the FUNAAB area.

JAMB Centres in Ago-Iwoye, Agbara, Alagbole-Akute, and Ibafo

Moving outward from Abeokuta, the next set of locations covers the eastern and southern reaches of Ogun State. These areas serve candidates closer to Lagos and those in university-heavy communities.

Ago-Iwoye sits in eastern Ogun and is home to Olabisi Onabanjo University — one of the most prominent state universities in southwest Nigeria. JAMB has approved two separate centres within OOU, which is great news for candidates in that axis. 

Whether you choose Centre 1 or Centre 2, both operate within the same university campus, giving you a structured and familiar academic environment for your exam.

Agbara, in the Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area, is an industrial corridor sitting close to the Lagos border. If you live or work in that area, there’s one approved centre available for you:

Alagbole-Akute is a fast-growing suburban area on the Ogun-Lagos fringe, popular with commuters. Three centres serve this area:

Ibafo lies along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and is accessible for candidates in southern Ogun. There is one approved centre here:

JAMB Centres in Ifo, Igbesa, and Ilaro

Ifo is one of the busiest local government areas in Ogun State in terms of CBT centre density. With eight approved centres, Ifo gives candidates in that region plenty of flexibility:

Igbesa is known for technical education and is home to the Ogun State Institute of Technology. Two centres are approved here:

Ilaro, in Yewa South Local Government, is anchored by the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro — one of the most respected federal technical institutions in southwest Nigeria. There is one approved centre here:

If you’re in the Yewa axis — Ilaro, Owode, or surrounding areas — Federal Polytechnic Ilaro is your most reliable and closest option for a structured exam experience.

JAMB CBT Centres in Ijebu-Ode, Ijoko, and Ikenne

Now we move eastward into the Ijebu and Remo regions, which are culturally rich and educationally active parts of Ogun State. These areas have their own clusters of approved centres.

Ijebu-Ode is a major commercial and educational hub in eastern Ogun. Four centres are approved for this town:

Ijoko is sandwiched between Ifo and Sango-Ota, making it a convenient midpoint for many candidates in that corridor. Four centres operate here:

Ikenne, close to Ijebu-Ode and serving the broader Remo area, has one approved centre:

Centres in Sagamu, Saapade Remo, and Sango-Ota

Sagamu is a major town in Remo North with a GRA cluster of centres. Four are approved here:

Saapade Remo, along the expressway, has one significant centre:

Sango-Ota is a densely populated and commercially active area near Lagos. Five centres are approved here — one of the busiest clusters outside Abeokuta:

JAMB Centres in Mowe, Ota, Owode Yewa, and Abule Ijoko

Mowe, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, is university-town country. Redeemers University alone attracts thousands of candidates. Four centres are approved here:

Ota is the industrial powerhouse of Ogun State. It hosts 10 approved centres — and some of Nigeria’s most prestigious private universities are right here, making it a top-tier destination for 2026 candidates:

Owode Yewa, in the western Yewa region of Ogun State, has one approved centre serving rural candidates in that axis:

Abule Ijoko and its surrounding areas (including Ogijo near Sagamu) round up the list with three more centres:

Important Tips Before You Head to Any JAMB Centre

You now have the full list of 75 approved JAMB CBT centres across Ogun State. Before you go, here are the essential tips that could save you from common mistakes:

1. Always verify on the JAMB portal first. Approved centre lists can be updated. Visit jamb.gov.ng to confirm your chosen centre is still active for 2026.
2. Call the centre in advance. Ask about available slots, operating hours, and whether they handle registration, mock exams, or the main UTME.
3. Arrive early on your appointment day. Centres tend to be crowded, especially during peak registration periods. Being early gives you less stress and a better seat.
4. Carry all your documents. Your NIN, ID, passport photos, email address, and payment receipt should all be with you.
5. Do not pay anyone outside official channels. JAMB registration fees are paid through the official portal or accredited banks. Anyone collecting cash at a centre without issuing official receipts is a red flag.
6. Know your centre before exam day. Don’t discover your centre’s location for the first time on the morning of your UTME. Visit it beforehand so you know the route, the gate, and the check-in process.
