The Federal Government has debunked rumours of age restrictions for taking the National Examination Council and West African Examination Council exams.Minister of State for Education, Dr. Tanko Sununu, made the clarification in Abuja on Friday, stating that there are no age limits for sitting for the exams.Sununu explained that the government only restricted the age for sitting for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and entry into the university to 18 years, beginning in 2025.
Tahir Mamman, nor the Minister of State, stated anything about the age limit for WAEC, NECO or NABTEB.“People just pick up some remarks the Minister made, misinterpreted the statements to imply that age restriction has been placed for WAEC and NECO examinations.“What we have been mentioning in the past was the entry age for University, candidates sitting for the UTME. We have made this clear several times, and this is in line with the National Policy on Education.
