If the words of Education Minister Mallam Adamu Adamu are anything to go by, the implementation of the 65 year retirement age and 40 year of service approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday have taken off.

The minister, who spoke on Thursday at the 2020 ministerial briefing in Abuja, said the policies took effect from January 1.

He said that effective dates for other policies would be announced subsequently after the submission of the report of the National Coordinating Committee.Prior to the approval of the new retirement age and years of service by the president, the retirement age of teachers in the country was 60 years or 35 years in service.

Also, Adamu said the ministry had constituted a national working committee to work out modalities to ensure continuous learning of students across all institutions in the face of COVID-19 pandemic and prolonged ASUU’s strike.
