The Minister of State for Education, Yusuf Sununu, on Friday, dismissed claims of age limit for candidates writing secondary school certificate examinations in the country.
The Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, had said at a stakeholders meeting in Abuja last week that students below the age of 18 years would no longer be allowed to write tests conducted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) National Examinations Council (NECO) for secondary school leavers.
The statement sparked angry reactions in the country with many questioning the rationale behind the decision.
