Terms of Use

By creating an account or submitting an application on this portal, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the portal.

1. Acceptance of terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Abia State Leadership Academy application portal ("the portal"), operated by the Government of Abia State. By using the portal, you accept these Terms in full.

2. Eligibility

The Academy is intended for young people who meet the published eligibility criteria, including the stated age requirement. Submitting an application does not guarantee eligibility, shortlisting or selection. Eligibility is determined by the Academy administration based on the criteria in force.

3. Your account

• You register using your phone number and a password of your choice, and you are issued an application number.
• You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity under your account.
• You must not share your account credentials or allow another person to apply on your behalf using your identity.
• If you believe your account has been accessed without your permission, you should change your password immediately.

4. Accurate information

You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information in your application, including your bio-data, National Identity Number (NIN), ABSIN and supporting details. Providing false, misleading or fraudulent information — including impersonation or misrepresenting your age or identity — may result in disqualification and, where applicable, referral to the relevant authorities.

5. Application process

• You may save your application and return to complete it before submission.
• After submission, editing may be closed at the discretion of the Academy administration.
• Your identity will be verified using your NIN as part of the assessment process.
• Shortlisting and selection decisions are made by the Academy administration and are final.

6. No fees

Applications to the Abia State Leadership Academy are free of charge. The portal will never ask you to pay a fee to apply, to be shortlisted, or to be selected. If anyone requests payment in connection with your application, you should treat it as fraudulent and report it.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Submit multiple or duplicate applications using false identities.
• Upload content that is unlawful, offensive, or that infringes the rights of others.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the portal, other accounts, or its underlying systems.
• Introduce malware, or attempt to disrupt, overload or interfere with the portal's operation.
• Use automated means to access, scrape or submit data through the portal without authorisation.

8. Intellectual property

The portal, its content, logos and design are the property of the Government of Abia State or its licensors and are protected by applicable laws. You may not copy, reproduce or reuse any part of the portal except as necessary for your own legitimate use of the application service.

9. Privacy

Your use of the portal is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect your personal data. By using the portal, you consent to the processing of your data as described in that policy.

10. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the portal available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Registration may be opened or closed, and features may be changed, at the discretion of the Academy administration. We may update these Terms from time to time by posting a revised version on this page.

11. Disclaimer and liability

The portal is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Government of Abia State is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the portal, including any loss of data or any reliance on information obtained through it.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and any disputes shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts in Nigeria.

13. Contact

For questions about these Terms, please contact the Abia State Leadership Academy administration through the official channels of the Government of Abia State.
