Nigeria’s Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has abolished the 18-year admission benchmark for tertiary institutions in the country.

He hinted at the possibility of his administration reviewing the nation’s education policy.

Alausa spoke on Tuesday at his inaugural ministerial press conference in Abuja.
