BREAKING: FG declares 16 as minimum age for varsity, poly admission
The Federal Government has officially fixed the minimum entry age into Nigeria’s tertiary institutions at 16.
Education Minister, Dr. Tunji Alausa, made this known on Tuesday while speaking at the ongoing Policy Meeting of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in Abuja.
Alausa stated that the new age requirement is non-negotiable and must be strictly adhered to by all institutions across the country.
He also issued a stern warning to universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education against conducting admissions outside the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS), describing such acts as illegal.
According to him, heads of institutions who bypass CAPS or manipulate the admission process will face prosecution.
