In a recent announcement, the Nigerian Federal Government has set the minimum age requirement for admission into tertiary institutions at 16 years old. This new policy is expected to affect prospective universities, polytechnic, and college students across the country.
In a statement released by the Ministry of Education, the government emphasized the importance of ensuring that young people have adequate preparation and maturity before embarking on higher education.
The new policy is likely to bring sweeping changes to the educational landscape in Nigeria and raise questions about the effects on schools, students, and their families.
