Good. Very thoughtful of them. But will they implement such?? Even at that, it may take another two years to finally implement. We done hear thank u

Infact this is one of the greatest development in the law making body has taken since their regime because it has become a nightmare for every job seekers

What a brilliant move...Bhet...Unfortunately, they pass and implement any bill that suits their hearts riddled self-centredness....."Gandollar and Sanusi's saga" as a Case study....

Until workers start Dying in office

Let them die na

well, it may be a good initiative but i have serious doubt on its effect.

every thing boils down to demand and supply.

i do not need to sieve out a group of applicant putting age as a restriction in black and white.

the major thing these law makers should be addressing is the creation of more jobs.

all these white-coated initiative lack fundamental basis.

if we have more jobs than available hands, we will not need to tell employers to employ even a willing grandpa.

go figure.

Yakubu Dogara, Speaker House of Representatives

The House of Representatives on Wednesday abolished age discrimination against job seekers in Federal Government Ministries, Agencies and Departments (MDAs).

This followed the passage, by the lawmakers, of a “Bill for an Act to Eradicate the Age Discrimination against Job seekers in Federal Government Agencies,” sponsored by Sergius Ogun (APC, Edo) and Babajimi Benson (APC, Lagos).

The bill, which was read for the second time in 2018, subsequently passed third reading after unanimous adoption by the lawmakers and Speaker Yakubu Dogara.

Ogun, moving a motion for a third reading of the bill, said the new law seeks to ensure that no Nigerian job seeker is disqualified from government employment on the basis of age.

He noted that the bill, when enacted, would first take effect in Federal Government MDAs with the hope that private employers of labour would follow suit later.

“It is a key responsibility of we parliamentarians, as representatives of the people, to ensure that no Nigerian job seeker is discriminated against with regard to age in employment opportunities in Federal Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs),” Ogun submitted.

The lawmaker added that the bill would also ensure that the fundamental human rights of job seekers are safeguarded while significantly reducing the spiralling number of unemployed graduates and school leavers on the streets.

He lamented that the incessant strikes by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has made it almost impossible for Nigerian university students to graduate within stipulated time, hence the necessity of the bill.

Meanwhile, Benson, a co-sponsor of the bill, pointed out that apart from age, sex, religion and ethnicity, were other variables in which discrimination is rampant in government employment.

He therefore called for the abolition of such barriers that “deprives qualified, energetic, and patriotic Nigerians the opportunity to fulfil their goals and contribute to societal development.”

In his contribution, Deputy Speaker, Yusuf Lasun (APC, Osun) argued that the major aim of the bill has been taken care of by relevant provisions of the 1999 Constitution as amended, which if enforced, could be taken advantage of by anyone affected by discrimination in government employment.

For House spokesman, Abdulrazak Namdas (APC, Adamawa), age ceiling for job seekers could only apply to societies with stable education calendar, not in Nigeria with recurring strikes, especially in public universities.

When put to voice vote by Speaker Yakubu Dogara, the bill was unanimously adopted and passed for third reading.

Randy100:
Not good. Job should be left for the young blooded in the society.

You belong to the 18th century. If not then you need exposure to come to level with reality.

THANK GOD OOO...

No more every 2 years declaration of age for a prolonged job seekers.

we need more jobs that's the main problem of Nigeria. Every year there are 100 thousands of graduates. How many jobs or opportunity is being added yearly, 10s of thousands. I finished since 2014 bt haven't gotten a good job up till now, even with my Msc. Fvck the Nigerian system, fvck the government

Nice bill.

If age limit is removed then every job for all comers.I see veterans slugging it out with freshers.

He said the truth.

God bless Nigeria.

Check well, it is for their interests.

This will minimize age falsification and encourage people to go to school at any age with the hope that they can still get employed.

Without such a bill I see no reason why someone should try going to school in his 30s or 40s knowing that most job adverts will give a condition of "not more than 27years of age."

The employers will not obey the order. It will not be put on the advert for jobs, but they know who they want.
