“The 2026 Policy Meeting promises to be exciting as key policy direction will be unveiled by the Honourable Minister of Education,” Benjamin said.
According to Benjamin, the annual policy meeting is a crucial gathering where stakeholders decide minimum tolerable UTME marks, admission guidelines, and policies for tertiary institutions.
The meeting will formally set the framework for the 2026/2027 admission exercise and impress on attendees the need to adhere strictly to stipulated guidelines, he added.
Benjamin listed critical stakeholders expected at the meeting, including Vice-Chancellors, Rectors, Provosts, Registrars, and admission officers from tertiary institutions.
Regulatory bodies such as the National Universities Commission (NUC), the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE), and the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) will also attend.
Goodwill messages will be delivered by NELFUND, NYSC, and other critical stakeholders, Benjamin said.
The 6th edition of the National Tertiary Admissions Performance-Merit Awards (NATAP-M) will also hold during the event.
Benjamin stated that the awards “have ensured strict adherence to admission guidelines and also contributed greatly to the development of tertiary education in the country.”
