Incidentally, i support this policy. Emotionally, most of these kids are not equipped for the rigours of Nigerian University education. And again, its a unique opportunity for the students if for example finishes secondary school at 16 years to use the following two years to learn skills in whatever field he or she wishes. Or another idea is if the FG will create a pre-university scheme where these students can learn andbdevelop their skills as well as prepring them emotionally ahead. Then parents should stop rushing their kids through primary school that from primary 5 to Jss1 and ss2 to University through GCE. |

Progressive Nigerians I. Girls can get married at age 10 ii. Students can only be admitted to university at 18 iii. Rich and children of politicians can be admitted to private or foreign universities at any age since it can be avoided iii. The suggestion is coming from a minister from an educational disadvantage region. iv. Is this the solution to all the problems Nigeria education system is facing |

PressMyButton:And you hypocrits celebrated a Nigerian for obtaining PhD at a very young age? The politicians have enough money to send their kids to study abroad at young age but make a law against young age for the poor people in Nigeria. |

16 years is okay. Government should focus on major issues. University autonomy and help education to be standard. Encouraging education and research not age. So.if someone who.is 90 years want to go.to school. Should we also place limit. 16 is fair. 1 Like |

CaptainFM1:This is my major concern with the policy, as long as a child is done with secondary education, rights to move on to the next stage shouldn't be taken away. We all know secondary education ends at 16, why wait for 2yrs before writing utme, what will fill the 2yrs gap?? |

With the Nigerian education system full of ASUU strikes and school closures due to protest, COVID-19, etc, someone that enters university at age 18 will graduate 7 or 8 years later . Then, when they advertise for job, they will put "below 25 years old wanted". I wonder why people still think this way in this century. |

The universities have their age limits. University autonomy should be respected. |
Re: Age Limit For Varsity Admissions Backward - Punch Editorial Board by Sk5050: 8:15am On Apr 28 |
Say no to retrogressive policy. While you peg age limit for recruitment/employment to 21 to 30 making it difficult for them to get a job after school. Cos Nigerian schools and strike na 5&6 by time they're done with school and NYC they're already above the age limit for employment, and that's how falsification of age comes about, which way 9ja, say NO to bad policies. |

Tragic that many cannot even debate the pros and cons of a policy without insulting themselves or turning it into a tribal or political war |

I support the age restrictions. Most of the children we see in universities now are a product of the rush rush mentality of their parents. You see some of them boasting about their children finishing university at the age of 20. The level of suicide in our universities is as a result of these kids not mentally matured and prepared for the outside world. Just one carryover... suicide. If u have a child who finished sec school by 15/16, let him or her learn a vocation, a trade, courses in IT. They'll use that period to also learn interpersonal skills. |
