94-year-old man registers for 2025 UTME to study political science in UI

A 94-year-old man, Adedapo Idowu, has registered for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) with the aim of fulfilling his long-standing aspiration of studying Political Science at the University of Ibadan.
Idowu, who registered at the JAMB Professional Test Center in Ibadan, Oyo State, expressed his excitement about the smooth registration process.
The 2025 UTME registration started on January 31.
Last week, JAMB revealed that over 700,000 candidates have registered, including 11,000 underage applicants.
Idowu shared that his initial fears about pursuing higher education at his age were dispelled after his seamless registration experience.
He commended the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for the efficient use of technology, such as integrating his National Identity Number (NIN), which simplified data collection and ensured a user-friendly process.
His story was featured in the latest bulletin of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
“I can now attain my dream at an advanced age.
“The registration staff gave me a sense of belonging through the warm reception at the registration venue” he noted.
He also advised other candidates to embrace professionalism and contentment in their academic journey.
The nonagenarian encouraged the Board to maintain this positive trajectory to continue ensuring access to education for all, particularly the elderly, the underprivileged, and those with disabilities.
