A communication disseminated via JAMB‘s official X account indicated that the resolution was made in response to evolving situations, allowing institutions additional time to finalize their admission procedures.
The Board reminded that the 2025 Policy Meeting on Admissions, convened on July 18, 2025, and presided over by the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Alausa, had previously established October 31, 2025, as the cutoff date for all public universities to complete their admissions.
As stated, the extension was deemed essential due to two primary factors: a request from the Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (AVCNU) and the recent accreditation of new programs by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
“AVCNU has specially appealed for an extension due to the disruption caused by a number of factors, including a court order directing that the status quo should remain on the 2025/2026 admission list, which was only lifted by the same court on 28th October 2025,” the statement read.
It added, “In a bid to expand access in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, the NUC on 29th October, 2025, released a list of 229 programmes recently accredited for 37 universities. Admission into those programmes is just being scheduled.”
JAMB praised the commitment and collaboration of public universities in striving to meet the original deadline, highlighting that the extension is intended to guarantee equity and inclusiveness among all institutions.
While stressing that the new deadline of November 17, 2025, is final and must be strictly adhered to, the Board reaffirmed its commitment to a transparent and credible admission process that aligns with national education goals and institutional autonomy.
