Ajadi Commends Reversal Of Age Limit For WASCE, NECO
Sahara Weekly Reports That 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 to sit West Africa School Certificate Examinations, (WASCE) 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 has piled 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 WAEC and NECO, a decision that was greeted with condemnation by many Nigerians, including Ajadi.
He had urged the 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 the government never restricted the age for students to sit for WAEC and NECO to 18 years.
