Good move. Age discrimination is a no no. Honestly, age discrimination does not favor the poor. An example: A teenager gains admission when he's 17 years old. He is meant to study a four year course but ASUU and internal strike prolongs the course to 6 years. He is 23 when he graduates. He goes for NYSC in a remote state where he will hardly have necessary infrastructure like electricity or internet to do personal study. Most likely, his PPA will be a public school where he'll be teaching Econs. Zero impact on his career. Dude finishes NYSC at the age of 24 years with zero advantage over his counterparts who attended private universities and graduated at age 19 and have gathered enough skills and knowledge relevant to their career and field of study. Especially in the banking system ehn...some banks don't take in entrants more than 22 years old. Is that possible for a poor man in this current Nigeria? 87 Likes 5 Shares |

Even if coys don't advertise age limit, they will still use it when sorting out prospective applicants. As long as thousands are applying for few jobs, all forms of discrimination will exist 111 Likes 3 Shares |

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! 63 Likes 6 Shares |

Best thing so far, competent and requisite requirements should be the criteria and not age requirement. Most of the private sectors are using this age limit stuff to pay graduate peanut in the name of graduate trainee because they know to hire competent hand will cost them. 1 Like 1 Share |
