The Delta State High Court in Warri has issued an order restraining the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board from implementing its recent policy requiring a minimum admissible age of sixteen years for university admissions in the country, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice filed against the board.
JAMB, in a statement on October sixteenth, stated that only candidates who will be sixteen years old by August 2025 would be admitted to tertiary institutions.
This directive was a follow up to the new policy that the ministry of education introduced which states the adoption of eighteen years as the minimum age for admission into tertiary institutions.
Dissatisfied with the JAMB’s directive, John Aikpokpo-Martins, a former Nigerian Bar Association chairman, Warri branch, dragged the admission board to court.
