This reversal of the previously announced eligibility age of 16, occurred after stakeholders in the meeting kicked against it, noting that it is illogical for a 16-year-old student to pass WAEC, JAMB and be denied admission.The minister accepted the suggestions of the stakeholders and agreed to a reversal of the earlier status quo.
