Once again, the Nigerian government says it will not admit students under 18 years of age, warning JAMB and other institutions

The Federal Government has reiterated its earlier directive that students below the age of 18 years should not be granted admission to higher education institutions in the country.

Minister of Education, Mr. Tahir Mamman, gave the directive in Abuja on Thursday at the 2024 Policy meeting of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

The federal government in April this year through Mamman, also gave the same directive during the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) monitoring exercise in Bwari, Federal Capital Territory.

The minister, who slammed the activities of some parents, who he said were pressuring minors to get admitted to higher education institutions, said the 18-year benchmark was in line with the 6-3-3-4 education system.
