The Federal Government, through the Minister of Education, has mandated that candidates under the age of 18 shall not be admitted to postsecondary institutions beginning next year.

The Minister of Education initially announced that the new policy would take effect this year. However, this elicited conflicting reactions, and after much consideration, it was decided that this new policy would take effect next year rather than this year, given the majority of candidates who registered for JAMB this year were under the age of 18 and were unaware of this new development at the time of registration.

According to the minister, the 18-year standard is consistent with the educational system's 6-3-3-4 framework.

Professor Mamman went on to say that for individuals who are unable to acquire entrance to postsecondary institutions, the Ministry of Education is teaching skills to primary school students.
