Of the 229 people recruited recently by authorities of the Nigerian Air space Management Agency (NAMA), the five states of the South east got 106 slots representing about 47 percent of the total number of people recruited, documents seen by Daily Trust have revealed.

On Tuesday last week, the House of Representatives committee on federal character informed the parliament that is has opened an investigation into the matter following a motion sponsored by deputy minority leader Rep. Suleiman Kawu Sumaila (ANPP, Kano).

A tabulated distribution of the posts among the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) shows that Abia state where the managing director of the agency Engineer Mazi Nnamdi Udoh came from has a total of 32 slots.

In the same vein, Anambra state where aviation minister Princess Stella Oduah come from has 32 slots, while Imo has 29; while Enugu and Ebonyi states have eight and five slots respectively.

Closely following the three states of the South east are Kogi 24, Cross River 20, Delta 14, Ogun 12, Benue 11 and Akwa Ibom 10.

However, Zamfara and Jigawa states were given zero slots, while FCT, Taraba, Sokoto and Kebbi states have one each.

Adamawa, Bayelsa and Nasarawa were allocated two each and Bauchi and Ekiti have three positions.

Gombe, Yobe, Rivers, Lagos got fours each, while Borno, Katsina, Niger, Ondo, Kano and Kaduna have five slots each. Others are Kwara, Osun, Oyo with six lots, Plateau 7.

“If urgent step is not taken the problem will defeat the purpose of the federal character commission establishment Act especially with regards to equal distribution of job opportunities among states of the federation and the supposed transparency and due process in the activities of the civil service it will create serious tension in the country,” Kawu said.

This thread is a sacrifice to the gods of tribalism if it hits front page. I see this thread having great potentials for traffic. Afam, over to you!

What's the current composition of this agency?

Daily Trust has an agenda and a broken clock is right at least twice a day but it's still a broken clock that uses funny information to obfuscate.

How come? nepotism seems to be smelling in the recruitment process, Is Stella Oduah the one messing around?

lol at sacrifise to the gods of tribalism.

It has to be daily trust, while they turn a blind eye to that of customs because the North are born to rule.

Tribalism infested journalism.

I think its high time they investigate all these so called federal recruitments, let us see the real beneficiaries.

D paper only reported a news, a development at the senate. Anybody who has a case should take the customs case to the senate as well. But for this one its as good as CANCELLED!

What point are you lots making? That Daily trust fabricated numbers and apportion it to south east states? Are you people incapable of rational thinking?

First, No source.
Second, this isn't a positive burst of energy as described in the book, there was a country.
And last but not the least, i await the response of our se apologist NL ID on this.

Winners take all. Igbos are extremely greedy people.

They should do an audit of all Government Agency and let us see what percentage each state represent.

C ur big head!

Afam the bigot mod will make sure it doesn't make front page!

From what you see here is evidence that Nigeria is not one and can never be.

What do you expect?
S/east always have the highest number of graduates, devoted and serious minded.

@least now that we are remembered, lets have the floor. I pray NAMA director won't face any music...

Points against selective journalism; Turning a blind journalism; Hatered for other region journalism.

These, my dear friend, should be condemned.

Dailytrust should have given us the current composition of NAMA's workforce. Let's see how it plays out.

Exactly.
'We' must right all wrongs,done to us since after the war.

This is a deliberate plot to deceive the public. Please our dear wise men. Tell us the composition of NAMA now. Also, tell us the composition of other federal institutions. If quota should be used in all our institutions, it should be done correctly. Post the ethnic/geographical distribution of employees in all our institutions. Then we would know who is cheating who Stop engaging in statistical falacies. Daily post, we are not morons in this country. You are exposing yourself!

That is called balancing. Can we have a breakdown of the total composition of the said agency as well as others like Customs, Police, NSCDC, ministries and parastatals.

I don't know the number of graduates Imo or Anambra states would produce that would more than Lagos state. I don't know the number of graduates that South East would produce that would be more than three times of what South West produce. Why is all these nonsense common in places where these people head? These people have no regard neither for competence nor quota system. NAMA, Civil Aviation, Immigration, Defence

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]That is called balancing. You don't even "have a breakdown of the total composition of the said agency as well as others like Customs, Police, NSCDC, ministries and par" and you went ahead and called it "balancing". Just listen to yourself.

And u are complaining.why we no get president?ok here its SUPER GREEDY.

maasoap: Winners take all. Igbos are extremely greedy people.

You 've said it all.

Clerverly: What is even wrong with this daily Trust Newspaper? Always fanning the ember of discord between North and South. What is wrong if nobody qualified from Zamfara and Jigawa States . Why did they not complain when JAMB recorded Zero applications from Zamfara State in 2009? Should NAMA go hand in cap to beg the herdsmen to come and work for them, knowing fully well that they did not qualify nor applied for such Jobs? Whoever inserted this quota system in our constitution must be an enemy of the State.

Yes Zamfara and jigawa may not have enough graduate or qualified applicant but does that means that Enugu and ebonyi too did not have enough graduate and applicant to compete with abia, anambra and imo state? Ok may be that should be between that region, did abia state only produces same number of graduate as all SouthWest put together or Neast and Nwest put together, that Edo did not produce any graduate as Zamfara and jigawa. This is too much my friend, it may be normal when u favour ur peaple in certain things but when u selfishly allocate all to ur self in enviroment of scarcity that we find our selves is very bad.
50 to 65 slots out of 229 slots share by 6 groups would have been better but going overboard and allocation half for one group when 6 are suppose to share it is big time selfishness and greed.
We just have to say the truth when we are caught in the web of insincerity rather than justify our wrong actions with what ourselves may not like if we were in same shoe.

maasoap: Winners take all. Igbos are extremely greedy people.

we learnt it from you people.
