The Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman has vowed to enforce a law mandating admission age for entry into tertiary institutions as 18 years.
Mr. Mamman who spoke at the 2024 Policy Meeting on Admissions into Tertiary Institutions, organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, in Abuja directed JAMB to admit only students who have attained the age of 18 years into tertiary institutions in its 2024 admission process.
Vice Chancellors, Rectors, Provost and other Stakeholders at the meeting protested their disagreement on the minister’s pronouncement.
The minister, however, said that the 2024 admission criteria remained as approved, urging institutions to adhere to the laid down requirements for admission processes.
He warned that any Vice Chancellors, Rectors and Provost, who infiltrated admissions outside the Central Admissions Processing Systems would henceforth be sanctioned.
