A decision to this effect was adopted during a Cabinet meeting held this evening with Chief Minister O Ibobi in the chair. Briefing media persons after the meeting, Government spokesman and Education Minister M Okendro stated that the State Cabinet decided to relax the upper age bar in view of the large number of educated, unemployed people seeking employment in the State. Age limits for candidates appearing in recruitment exams conducted the State Government were 30 for general, 33 for OBC and 35 for ST/SC. These age bars were extended to 35, 38 and 41 respectively in public interested so as to enable the educated, employed could make a one-time attempt at recruitment exams, Okendro said. But this measure could not reduce the problem of unemployment. Taking serious of the existing situation, the Cabinet meet held today decided to further relax the age bar.
