The federal government has set 16 years as minimum age for admission into Nigeria’s tertiary institutions.
This was announced by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, on Tuesday during the opening of the ongoing Policy Meeting of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in Abuja.
The minister maintained that the new policy reflects a balance between cognitive maturity and academic preparedness.
According to report, Alausa noted that the minimum entry age of 16 is non-negotiable as he directed all institutions to comply with the new policy.
