It is said that nothing is impossible to the mind that believes.
This seems to be the case of a 94-year-old man, Adedapo Idowu, who has registered for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Idowu, who registered at the JAMB Professional Test Center in Ibadan, Oyo State, said he did so to fulfill his long-standing aspiration of studying Political Science at the University of Ibadan.
The 2025 UTME registration started on
January 31.
Last week, JAMB revealed that over 700,000 candidates have registered, including 11,000 underage applicants.
However, Idowu shared that his initial fears about pursuing higher education at his age were dispelled after his seamless registration experience.
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.
