Good evening good people of nairaland.

I will go straight to the point here.
I am well above 30 years (35 precisely). I have a friend in who works in a federal agency that has promised to help me. He asked for a certain amount though.
My credentials (waec O level and birth cert) all shows my age but he's saying that's not in any way a problem.
I need the advice of those who are in any of the federal ministries.
I have a B.sc and M.sc.
Kindly help a brother with sincere and genuine advice.

There is currently an embargo on recruitment into civil service jobs except the military, police etc. Be creative to find out the ministry and look for people there to know if recruitment is actually taking place.

I don't know why it is difficult for a 30 years old youth to get employment into government jobs.But a 50 to 60 something years old man can be appointed into political offices without age barriers.
its very pathetic bro

According to the Public Service Rules, the maximum age is 45 into regular appointment. Anyone above that age can only be employed on contract basis and it's mostly as consultants.

I am a senior administrative officer with 9yrs experience, I should know.
It’s obvious you don’t know because 50 is what is stipulated in the public service rules.

You are the ignorant one go and do your research.

Why do some of you like arguing over what you know little or nothing about? Attached is Public service rule 020205(a). So, can you tell us where you got your own 45 years limit?

It’s even a shame that I’m arguing with a level 10 officer. I have been in service well over the 9 years you’re claiming and I’m way above GL 10. In fact, that was my starting point when I joined the Federal civil service. Learn from your seniors and stop arguing ignorantly.

Go get another birth cert. WAEC is not needed, tell them you jump from primary school to university.

remember you are not the first person. Tinubu did it, the law allows him.
