FG clarifies age limit for WAEC, NECO examinations
In a related story, TheTalk.NG also reported that the FG said students who want to write the examinations of the West African Examination Council and National Examination Council are not restricted 18-year-old age limit.
The Minister of State for Education, Dr. Tanko Sununu, made this clarification in Abuja on Friday and explained the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, earlier stance.
He noted that Mamman’s position means the UTME candidates are restricted to age 18 as well as admission seekers, adding that it is in accordance with the National Policy on Education.
Sununu was quoted as saying:
“As regards this matter, we have made ourselves clear in different fora. But the issue kept recurring here and there. Actually, nobody among the two of us, the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, nor the Minister of State, stated anything about the age limit for WAEC, NECO or NABTEB.”
