A 94-year-old man has registered for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The nonagenarian, identified as Adedapo Idowu, featured on the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board’s latest bulletin publication.
In the publication, the 94-year-old said his fears of acquiring tertiary education had been dispelled.
“I can now attain my dream at an advanced age,” he said.
He said the process of his UTME registration was seamless.
Idowu commended the board’s integration of National Identity Number (NIN) for easy data collection.
He said the decision helped in eradicating the discrimination against the old, the underprivileged, and people with disabilities.
Idowu said the registration staff member gave him “a sense of belonging through the warm reception at the registration venue.”
