The Minister of Education, Professor Tahir Mamman, has announced that candidates under the age of eighteen will no longer be admitted to tertiary institutions in Nigeria. He made this declaration on Thursday during the 2024 Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) policy meeting in Abuja.
The Minister stated that this decision aligns with Nigeria’s law, which prohibits the admission of underage students to higher education institutions. He stressed that no one should recommend candidates younger than 18 years old for admission and that this guideline must be strictly enforced.
This directive applies to all tertiary institutions, including universities, polytechnics, and others.
