Employer will have to increase their age , this is good. No more babies in uni.

Does the constitution stop anyone under 18, from being admitted into tertiary institutions, misplaced priority.
Some People will rush here to talk about Lamine Yamal but are quik to forget that his was an exceptional case

Generally, how many footballers have the privilege to rep their Senior team in any Major comp at 18, even Messi wasnt called up till 2006 and he wasnt under-18 then

I think capping this at 16years is better because children of this generation are getting matured intellectually before age18 unlike before.

But their children are attending higher institutions abroad bah.

Beremx:
Primary 6 should also be made compulsory. Every child should get admitted into secondary school at age 11yrs

Madam, just stick to what you know

What calibre of people govern this country abeg

FG, enemy of progress.

That’s dumb Dumb Dumb .
Why are putting a stumbling blocks on under 18. Like how many are they in numbers . That prodigy will travel abroad and add value in US instead of at home.

Are there job to employ these kids ? I think child labour activists should step in . There are no vocational training centers for these kids to go to . Next the ever predatory work places will employ them or various vices set in . This is not a well thought through policy .

Besides how many people get admission yearly ? The number of students that sit at home for 2-4 years before getting admission is enough on its own . Imagine a brilliant child can’t go to university unless he/she is 18. The parents get to handle idle teenagers while trying to survive Tinubu’s economy

Beremx:
that's how it should be. Back in those days, 18yrs was the right age. You leave secondary school at 17yrs, primary school at 11yrs and nursery school at 6yrs

Nonsense. That's why cultism don finis una schools. Be admitting experienced babalawos and thinking that you are doing others. Na yourself you dey do.

But their children below 18 are attending higher institutions abroad bah.

This is bullshit!

Mehn! Don't birth if you don't have money o because na private school sure pass.

This fucktards are doing everything to retard your progress as a Nigerian.

What's really the point of this policy? For a country that has the HIGHEST number of out of school children in the world. Don't we have priorities? Just change the name APC to the Taliban FFS

they west will just pack brilliant 15,16 and 17 years old into their medical schools and grant them admission plus unconditional scholarship.

Yinmu...You can't control private uni

Nigerian government, Promoting stupid policies since 1960!

This will go nowhere unless it is backed up by the law. No one is going by this dumbass policy

nlfpmod:
What's their problem? Tomorrow employers will say they are looking for 22 -26 years old. Crazy people.

and ppl don start life for 18-20years for US. how I use land Naija as my country

Some people were rushed and finished university at 18. We are too lawless in this country

Coldspice:


Madam, just stick to what you know

how old are you? That's how it was done in the 80s to early 2000s. You kids of nowadays no get respect

Good all those girls that lie about their age in the next five years as a graduate you cant tell us you cant tell us you are twenty years or twenty one years again we go calculate am for you including one year of service.

Emman08:

I pray so . That is how they removed history from the curriculum. How do these people come up with these idiotic policies .

There's something wrong with this country

It is misplaced priorities. It is not just the Nigerian politicians that are bereft of ideas, sometimes even the so called academics are no better. ''Underage'' admissions are not what should be too encouraged, but that doesn't mean we should go as far as legislating against or even punishing it

RickyJesus:
16 is alright. Kids finish school wey to earlier in this modern age.

No 16 is NOT alright, 16 is too young.

17 would have been better.

There are many "exceptional cases" who can be in university before they turn 18. Most top scorers in UTME are below 18. Hustle hard to send your kids to school in Ghana or Togo. This is a terrible idea.

Procashtips:
Even though I don't have hope in this government but can't fault this.

Stop rushing children into adulthood, it's irresponsible

In the so called saner climes, what is the age benchmark for University entry?

Now the govt must make sure no more strikes and 4 years = 4 years.

I love this! This is the main reason we rush children because of the epileptic nature of the federal government's own universities.

My daughter will be done with senior secondary by the time she is 16 years old. We have agreed that she will use the two years to learn a tangible skill.

Name the "saner clime" countries where 16 year olds are barred from university.
