Mamman emphasized that the age limit for university admission in Nigeria remains 18 years.

 

Mamman explained that the policy is not new, but rather a reminder of existing regulations. He broke down the expected number of years pupils should spend in school, from early child care to senior secondary school, totaling 17 and a half years.

 

The minister also addressed the issue of exceptionally talented children, stating that their cases would be given special consideration. However, he noted that in Nigeria, it is easy to abuse special windows.
