The Senate on Wednesday, asked the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , to direct the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity to set up a committee to review the age limits for job seekers
in the country to allow competent applicants to be employed.Gobir cited Orders 42 and 52 of the Senate Standing Rules, and noted that requirement of Ministries Departments and Agencies and other private bodies, which set age barriers, “inadvertently excludes and marginalises skilful and competent prospective applicants from participating in such exercises.”
“This development, where a person believes he is unemployable, can lead them to embracing criminal activities and further increase the growing crime rate and insecurity in the country.” He said the embargo period must be factored into the review of age limits by the Ministry of Labour and Productivity for prospective job seekers in the country.
