Conclusively, the courses we listed above are not wholly out of mathematics. Which means that you should have at least a credit pass in mathematics in your O'level. This is the general requirement for gaining admission into any course in the university. Having for instance, F9 in mathematics in your WAEC, NECO, GCE or NAPTEP results, won't guarantee you admission in the sense that passing Mathematics in O'level is case sensitive.
You can actually study some courses without mathematics. This will be your UTME subjects in in JAMB and other preliminary bodies which some courses does not necessitate writing Mathematics.

That's our take on how to gain Admission into a university in Nigeria without mathematics in JAMB and also less mathematical calculations in the discipline you go into.
