Legal Challenge to Nigeria’s Admission Policy by 15-Year-Old Student
A 15-year-old student has taken legal action against Nigeria’s Ministry of Education, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), and the National Universities Commission (NUC) over a new admission policy.
The student argues that the policy, which includes age restrictions, is discriminatory and unfair to young, qualified candidates like herself.
Her lawsuit seeks to challenge the regulations that limit access to higher education based on age, highlighting issues of fairness in Nigeria’s educational system.
