He narrated how the option led him straight into the second level of university study, meaning he avoided spending an additional year outside the academic system.

According to him, he chose the Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) programme as his method of entry.

He pointed out that this choice removed the pressure associated with the UTME and provided direct access to a higher level within the university structure.

He noted that the pathway was also being adopted by other students who wanted to avoid delays and the mental stress allegedly linked to the JAMB examination process.

"How did you enter school without writing JAMB? I did JUPEB. No JAMB stress again. I gained admission directly into 200 level. I didn't waste another year at home. Smart students are already choosing this route. Avoid JAMB stress and do JUPEB. You will secure admission into 209 level."
