The new Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has abolished the 18-year admission benchmark for tertiary institutions in the country.

He also hinted at the possibility of reviewing the nation’s education policy.

However, the minister stated that there would be no reversal of the Federal Government’s decision to void over 22,700 degree certificates obtained by Nigerians from some “fake” universities in neighbouring Togo and the Benin Republic.

Alausa spoke on Wednesday at his inaugural ministerial press conference, which is ongoing in Abuja.

He stated that practical education will help to address the unemployment situation in Nigeria, as tertiary institutions will not continue to churn out graduates every year without providing jobs for them.

He mentioned that the federal government will collaborate with private sector operators to train students and unleash their potential.

Alausa added that universities of agriculture will be empowered to adopt commercial farming practices to combat food insecurity.

GST101...Turn by turn governance

Good one

Confused government

This government is very funny
They will make a useless policy and then reverse it and claim it as achievement and then boast shamelessly in front of the media.

Confused men

Optimally 18 years is a good age to enter university

Some even say that 21 is better.

I said what I said. If you like, abuse me.

And if you like modify my comment

18-21 is best for university entrance.

Entering at 15 or 16 is just sending lamb to slaughter

Abokis have no business being education minister. They hate western education.

Never seen such as useless government as this ..

guesswork government

Useless thing when firs job come out which day they tag 25years to apply whereby before u even gain admission self u are 26years already 😡

Scrap the nation's archaic curriculum and endorse practical and solution-driven model of education and there'll will be a turn around in our educational and national economy.

I just hope we don't find ourselves here again, talking about students committing suicide or having people in schools studying what they have no business with instead of chasing their purpose or cultism or abuse by lecturers.

Wetin concern me sef.

That is why when it is election time, you vote for the candidate that promises a road to industrializing Nigeria.

And in the last election, only Obi said something reasonable about that

This is to say schools in Togo , Benin and others are fake while other countries are valid. Is it not the the same western education or will everyone afford to send their children or attend schools in European countries like they politician embezzle this country's money to send their children abroad ?. Okay .. we'll see if Togo , Benin and other won't void our certificate too.

Good

Long jump continues!

Ifs a win for exam malpractice and double promotion!
