The Commandant, Command Secondary School, Suleja, Niger State, Lt. Col. Rufai Aliyu has said that whatever the government is coming up with over the 18-year-old benchmark for tertiary institution’s admission will be good for the education sector.
Speaking on Monday in Suleja during the school’s speech and prize giving ceremony, he said the government’s decision would be beneficial.
He said students who would be affected should not lose focus but ensure they get something doing while they wait for the stipulated age for the university.
Aliyu prayed for the graduating students to excel in their just concluded external examinations and success in their future endeavours.
