Stakeholders in the education sector on Thursday pegged the minimum benchmark score for admission into universities at 140.
The benchmark score is not the cut-off mark for admissions for all universities, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, explained during the ongoing policy meeting in Abuja.
Various institutions had sent their minimum benchmark scores to JAMB. Institutions such as Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos; Covenant University, Ogun state, Obafemi Awolowo University, Osun state and the University of Lagos were the only universities that recommended 200 and above.
“JAMB does not set cut-off mark. What we have is a minimum benchmark score that any university cannot go below. Different universities have their benchmark scores.”

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has announced a N66 per litre discount on petrol purchases at its retail outlets nationwide to mark Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary.
The offer, which runs from October 1 to 7, 2026, comes less than 24 hours after the state-owned oil company reduced its petrol pump price to N1,370 per litre.
NNPCL announced the promotional offer in a notice posted on its official X account on Thursday, urging Nigerians to take advantage of the temporary price reduction.
According to the company, customers will enjoy a N66 discount on every litre of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) purchased at participating NNPC Retail stations, provided they make payments through its mobile application.
“N66 off every litre of PMS at NNPC Retail today till 7 October. Pay with the app at any participating station. T&Cs apply,” the company stated.
The latest offer follows a fresh round of petrol price adjustments triggered by a reduction in the gantry price of petrol by the Dangote Refinery.
On Wednesday, NNPCL filling stations in Abuja and neighbouring areas reduced their pump price by N25, bringing the cost of petrol down to N1,370 per litre.
The adjustment came after the Dangote Refinery lowered its gantry price to N1,325 per litre, prompting changes in retail prices across parts of the country.
Similarly, MRS filling stations in Abuja had earlier reduced their petrol pump price to N1,370 per litre.
With the latest price cuts and promotional offer, motorists in Abuja and surrounding areas can now access petrol at varying prices, with pump rates previously ranging between N1,370 and N1,450 per litre.
The NNPCL discount is expected to provide additional relief to motorists during the week-long Independence Day promotion, although customers must use the company’s mobile app and patronise participating outlets to qualify.
