Yes — at Nigerian Maritime University (NMU), Okerenkoko, you can study Transport Logistics Management at the undergraduate level. Here’s how it works


JAMB UTME Subject Combination

When registering for JAMB to study Transport Logistics Management, you generally need to choose the following subjects:

English Language (compulsory)
Mathematics
Physics
One (1) other subject from:
• Chemistry
• Economics
• Biology
So your UTME subjects would be English, Maths, Physics + one of Chemistry, Economics or Biology.


Can I choose a subject instead of Mathematics?

In most Nigerian universities, including NMU, Mathematics is a required subject for Transport Logistics Management. It cannot be replaced by another subject in the UTME combination because the course deals with numerical and analytical aspects of transport, logistics planning, and management — all of which require maths skills.

So no — you cannot replace Mathematics in the JAMB UTME subject combination for Transport Logistics Management at NMU. You must select Mathematics.



O’Level (WAEC/NECO) Requirements

For your secondary school certificates (WAEC/NECO), you must have five (5) credit passes in subjects that typically include:
English Language
Mathematics
Physics
Chemistry or Economics or Biology
One other relevant subject

These must be obtained in no more than two sittings.


🧠 Why Mathematics Is Needed

Transport Logistics Management involves:
Quantitative analysis (e.g., transport planning)
Supply chain optimization
Costing and forecasting
Operations management

So maths is essential for the core modules you’ll take in the course.
