The leaders of all tertiary institutions will be there, according to The PUNCH, and the policy meeting will be presided over by the minister of education, Adamu Adamu.

The summit will determine admission standards, chart policy directions for the country's tertiary institutions, and conduct a comprehensive analysis of application data, performance, and the admissions process.
