Good move.

How can you limit the age of applicants to 28-35 years where-as an 80 years old and above are selected to lead the nation

Selected by Nigerians and confirmed by Inec....

Right moves.
Sometimes I doubt of these employers live in Nigeria with all those unreasonable job restrictions.
This makes applicants lie without controls.

This is a very existential, practical and pragmatic bill.

With the epileptic educational system in Nigeria, most people spend longer years than necessary trying to graduate from school only to be told they are now too old to be employed.

Meanwhile you were frustrated by WAEC. Some people write WAEC up to 4 times before they finally make it.

If WAEC doesn’t frustrate you, JAMB will show you shege. Some twice, others three or 4 times or more.

Then when you finally make it into the University, ASUU will tell you to hold their beer. They will make sure that a course that was originally supposed to run for 4 years stretches into 6 or 7 years; and a 7 years course running into 11 years.

Finally you graduate at 36.

Then you see graduate entry openings in Access, Zenith, GT banks. You try to apply only to find out that it’s not for those older than 27 years or sometimes as low as 25 years.

Every other openings follows same pattern.

You consider the military (armed forces) and they all have age cap of 30 years.

Then you exclaim, “School Na Scam!”

Because you are already seeing Chukwudi who failed WAEC with you and left to Onitsha to do boy boy. He was settled after 5 years while you were still struggling with JAMB.

By the time ASUU was done eating Okpa with your destiny he already built a house in the village and bought a small car.

Let’s not even talk about those who started yahoo after failing JAMB twice.

Those ones are now ballers with fake gold chains. But how would you know the gold chains are fake when you have never priced even a bronze chain before?

And now all you have left is big grammar. Big grammar that you come to Nairaland to type some days when nature allows you to afford data. Your life is rudderless and meaningless.

You question God, you question nature, you question everything. You cry inside and on your bed at night. “This must be village people”, you say. Then you visit prophets, alfas, even Astrologers.

You try to start shooting comedy skit but you weren’t funny.

Maybe you should learn Web Development or Data Analysis, but where you go see laptop.

At 33, 36, and above you still don’t know where your life is going.

But now there’s an Abba Moro to the rescue.

God bless you Abba Moro.

Let the 30s and above breef!
On .

Nice symbolic mov, but…

It will make little or NO DIFFERENCE in practice…
As age criteria will still be surreptitiously applied internally by HR.

Even in the US, age discrimination is illegal…
But you only have to look at certain jobs to realize it occurs.

Waste of legislative time.
They will screen out those that are considered to be above the age limit at the interview stages.

We need proper orientation in the country

Exactly! The Agbayas won’t pass HR…

The bill implementation is long overdue. Saw a job advert recently the maximum age requirement is 24years. Someone who got into higher institution at age 20 did 4 years course and nysc another year added, how is it possible to get that offer. Also the 5 years experience for some applications should be scrapped.

This adds no value in the long run. Companies will then stop putting age in their advert but have that in their backend checklist. It's that simple and nobody will tell you what they have done
