Education Minister Tahir Mamman has announced that underage candidates will no longer be permitted to take secondary school leaving examinations. This directive mandates that candidates must be at least 18 years old to qualify for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) administered by WAEC and the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) organized by NECO. The Federal Government has instructed both examination councils to enforce this new age limit.
Education Minister Tahir Mamman announced that starting next year, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will enforce an 18-year age requirement for university admissions in Nigeria. This year, JAMB will still admit students younger than 18 as a notice period for parents. From the following year onward, only applicants who meet the 18-year age requirement will be considered for university admission.
