Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has berated the Federal Ministry of Education over its policy that pegged age limits for entry to tertiary institutions, describing it as absurd.
Recall that the Minister of Education, Professor Tahir Mamman, had said that individuals under 18 years would no longer be allowed to take part in National Examinations Council, NECO, and West African Examinations Council, WAEC, examinations.
Reacting to the development in a post on his X handle on Wednesday, the former Vice President says the policy belongs to the stone ages and wonders how such anti-scholarship regulation is the logical step in the myriads of issues besetting Nigeria’s educational system.
