Abstract
The ceiling placed on age by government and non-governmental agencies when it comes to employment opportunities in Nigeria which is usually between 20 and 30 years has made a lot of applicants outsiders bracketing them out of consideration in the job selection process thereby pushing them to have their ages falsely declared in court The problem is even more prominent in Nigeria where applicants can take up to a decade or more looking for jobs by which time they get older For example in a 2016 2017 recruitment exercise by the Nigerian Police a candidate applying for the post of a Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police must be between 23 and 28 years of age Also in an advert by Fidelity Bank Plc in 2015 for jobs one of its key requirements was an applicant must be between 20 and 28 years
