Human rights lawyer, Tolu Babaleye, has petitioned the Federal Government over the 30-year age limit for the ongoing recruitment by the Nigeria Immigration Service.
The NIS, in a recruitment advert earlier published in a national daily, pegged the maximum age limits for applicants at 30 years while doctors and pharmacists must not be more than 35 years.
The petition read in part, we wish to call on the Management of Immigration Service and the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Senate of the Federal Republic to Immediately remove that age barrier or change it to 40 years and sustain this for the next 10 years to take care of the backlog of employable Nigeria Youths and graduates from the Universities, the Polytechnic or Colleges of Education.
“The petition is about the Nigerian youths and their rights. We wrote to the National Assembly and other agencies to stop using Nigerian youths as victims. Immigration service has just released an advert for recruitment into the service and they placed the maximum entry age at 30 years.
