, in this piece, examines the growing cases of age falsification among workers in private and public sectors even as experts finger intellectual laziness as the cause of the ugly trend
There have been rising cases of age falsification among some Nigerians in recent times, either in a bid to reach the peak of their career or to qualify for the age limit prescribed by employers of labour.
The trend which started many decades ago, has refused to stop despite the fact the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has successfully prosecuted many civil servants who were involved in the shameful act.

Some workers at the Lagos State University have petitioned Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to protest against the recommendation by the institution s vice-chancellor selection committee, pointing out that a man without a PhD cannot confer PhD degrees on students.
In the petition, the workers under the banner of Concerned Staff of LASU urged Governor Sanwo-Olu, who is the visitor to the university, to reject the recommendation.
They alleged that the joint council and senate selection committee acted in flagrant violation of the advertisement for the vice-chancellor position by shortlisting Olumuyiwa Odusanya, Kabir Akinyemi and Senapon Bakre.
