Ajadi Commends FG Over Reversal Of Age Limit For WASSCE, NECO
A leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Olufemi Ajadi has commended the Federal Government for reversing itself on the 18 years minimum age for students to sir for the West Africa School Certificate Examinations, (WASSCE) and the National Examinations Council (NECO).
He said: “This decision has portrayed President Bola Tinubu’s administration as a listening one.”
However, Ajadi told the Federal Government to reverse the fuel pump hike, which he said has puy more pressure on the suffering masses.
The Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, had announced that beginning from the next academic session, students below 18 years will not be allowed to sit for WASSCE and NECO, a decision that was greeted with condemnation by many Nigerians, including Ajadi.
He had urged the federal government not to implement such a policy in the interest of many youths, who are already in Senior Secondary Schools and may have to sit at home for many years to reach the age of 18.
On Friday, the Minister of State for Education, Tanko Sununu said that the government never restricted the age for students to sit for WASSCE and NECO to 18 years.
