FG Lifts 18-Year Age Limit for University Admission: What It Means for Students

Breaking: Federal Government Reverses Age Limit Rule for University Entry

The Federal Government of Nigeria has reversed the previously set minimum age requirement of 18 years for university admission.

This policy shift means that students below the age of 18 can now gain admission to universities, a decision likely influenced by the recognition of young academic talent and accelerated learning paths in the country.

This reversal opens doors for younger, exceptionally bright students who complete secondary school early to pursue higher education without age restrictions.
