The Federal Government has announced that only candidates who are 18 years old and above will be admitted to tertiary institutions from this year.
Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, gave the directive on Thursday at the ongoing 2024 policy meeting in Abuja.
According to the Minister, this decision is in line with Nigeria’s law, which prohibits the admission of underage students to tertiary institutions.
He emphasized that no one should recommend anyone less than 18 years old for admission, stressing that this guideline must be strictly followed.
