The Federal Government has overturned an 18-year standard for admissions in tertiary institutions.
The recently appointed Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has eliminated the 18-year age requirement for admission to higher education institutions across the nation.
The Minister emphasized that there will be no change in the federal government’s decision to nullify more than 22,700 degree certificates acquired by Nigerians from certain “fake” universities located in neighboring Togo and Benin Republic.
On Tuesday, Alausa addressed the media during his first ministerial press conference currently taking place in Abuja.
