The House of Representatives has decided to review the current policy on the minimum age for university admission. They also promised to keep supporting the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and other exam bodies so they can carry out their duties well.

The Chairman of the House Committee on Basic Examination Bodies, Rep. Oforji Oboku, made this promise on Wednesday in Abuja during the committee’s visit to the venue of an ongoing exam for outstanding underage students seeking university admission.

Rep. Oboku praised the excellent performance of these young candidates, saying they are a source of national pride.

“The performance of these underage students shows that our educational system is moving in the right direction. We are very proud of JAMB, and we will continue to support and encourage them to do more,” he said.

Speaking about the age limit for university admission, Rep. Oboku explained that the rule came from the Federal Ministry of Education, not JAMB. However, he assured that the House would review it as part of wider educational reforms.

“The issue of age limit is not JAMB’s decision; it’s a government policy. JAMB is only implementing what the Ministry of Education has approved. However, we will look into it and, if the need arises, take the necessary legislative steps,” he added.The House of Representatives has decided to review the current policy on the minimum age for university admission.
