JAMB unveils new novel ‘The Lekki Headmaster’ for Use of English

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the introduction of a new novel for the Use of English section of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME).

This update was shared in a brief post on the board’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday. The novel, which is part of the examination syllabus, is expected to serve as a core material for candidates preparing for the 2025 UTME.

JAMB regularly updates its reading materials to ensure students engage with diverse and enriching content, and this move aligns with the board’s commitment to maintaining high academic standards.

The new novel, ‘The Lekki Headmaster’ by Kabir Garba replaces ‘Life Changer’ by Khadijat Jalli which was used in the 2024 UTME.

“Attention prospective 2025 UTME candidates! This is to inform you that The Lekki Headmaster by Kabir Alabi Garba has been approved as the reading text for the Use of English. Details on the UTME/DE registration shall be released shortly. Kindly be on the lookout for updates,” the post reads.

2025 UTME

Annually, over 1.5 million candidates take the UTME, an entrance examination into Nigerian tertiary institutions.

After passing the Senior School Certificate Examinations (SSCE), individuals seeking admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions are required to pass the computer-based UTME tests with a minimum score usually set by the institutions.

While the 2025 registration exercise has not yet begun, JAMB stated that it has already commenced the accreditation of registration centres in preparation for the upcoming exercise.
