Nigerian Government Reaffirms Mathematics Compulsory for O-Level Students

The Federal Government of Nigeria has clarified that Mathematics remains mandatory for all O-Level students, following initial confusion over its status. The Federal Ministry of Education spokesperson, Sundai Boriowo, announced that while Mathematics and English are essential, some tertiary institutions can admit students for specific programs without compulsory credits in these subjects.

This move aims to promote equity and inclusivity in education. Stakeholders are urged to verify policies through official channels to avoid misinformation.
