FG sets 16 as minimum admission age for Nigerian tertiary institutions

The Federal Government has officially fixed 16 years as the minimum age for admission into tertiary institutions across Nigeria.

This was disclosed by the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, during the 2025 policy meeting of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) held in Abuja.

Dr. Alausa emphasised that the decision is aimed at aligning students’ cognitive development with the academic demands of higher education.

He, however, acknowledged that exceptions could be made for gifted students who have advanced academically ahead of their age group. But such cases, he said, must be clearly documented and justified.

Dr. Alausa also cautioned tertiary institutions against manipulating student age records to bypass the age limit, saying the enforcement would be strict.
