Your Excellency you, > I am 33 years old, a graduate from Zamfara State (Gusau). I finished my degree but still no job. The Federal Government says 18-35 years limit, I am scared if I reach 35, my degree will be useless. > Sir, if you win 2027, please increase the age limit to 40 and crea
On the federal job age limit for graduates, I don't have a specific commitment to raise it from 35 to 40 to share with you. What I can tell you is what I'm determined to do for young people looking for real opportunities. My administration will overhaul Technical and Vocational Education and Training curricula, working with industry leaders so that what graduates and polytechnic students learn actually matches what the job market needs. We will establish modern vocational training hubs across all geopolitical zones, launch dual-apprenticeship programmes, and standardize national skill certifications, so you are prepared for actual jobs, not just certificates.
I am also committed to reducing the tax burden on small businesses that create jobs. We will reward businesses that employ Nigerians by lowering their tax burden and creating incentives for job creation and growth. This is how we will encourage more employers to open their doors to you and others seeking work.
