- The Securities and Exchange Commis­sion (SEC) has se­cretly employed 20 mem­bers of staff

- Most of them from Kano state and a few states in the North

- The new workers were asked to report to work without any induction or training

A report by The Authority indicates that the Securities and Exchange Commis­sion (SEC) has secretly employed 20 mem­bers of staff.

According to the report, most of the new workers are from Kano state and a few states in the North, and they were asked to report to work without any induction or training


The interview of the can­didates was reportedly carried out on Friday, December 23, 2016 and they were hurriedly asked to report for work on Wednesday, De­cember 27, 2016.

The report stated that the workers were engaged when activities in SEC were almost shut down for the year.

Critics of the exercise also alleged that the vacancies were not advertised while the man­agement favoured candi­dates from northern states, especially Kano state, the home-state of SEC’s Di­rector-General, Mounir Gwarzo.

Reacting to the report, SEC’s head of corpo­rate communications, Naif Abdulssalam, said the posi­tions were not advertised be­cause they were for junior of­ficers.

He also said it ob­tained a waiver from the Fed­eral Character Commission for the recruitment of 20 jun­ior staff.

Meanwhile, unnamed sources quoted in the report, stated that the candidates ought to come from the catchment states of Kogi, Nasarawa, Niger and the Federal Capital Ter­ritory (FCT) but the agency gave preferential treatment to Kano.

A source at the com­mission said some senior workers were also employed.

The source said: “No training or induction was conducted. The whole thing was shroud­ed in secrecy and most mem­bers of staff in the commis­sion were not even aware of what was going on.”

SEC has been in a running battle with the House of Representatives Committee on Federal Char­acter over a similar employ­ment last year.

What is tribalistic about such expose?
If anything, Buhari is the chief of all standoffish tribalist and irredentist bigots this country is plagued with.

what do you expect ?

EdCure:

Me, wailer?

When some of us were busy campaigning for Gen. Buhari both on the streets and social media, you and the Manmman Dauras of today were nowhere to be found.
You cowards and naysayers were covered in hijabs and burqas, disguised as girls hawking Fura da'nunu in the squalid villages of the north.

Jesuspikin8:
He is not the chief of anything. He is just a figure head for the Kaduna Cabals. Yanno how easy it is to manipulate uneducated folks... That's PMB's dilemma. When they told me illiteracy was costlier than sound education I didn't get the full picture of what it meant. Now I know better

BeeBeeOoh:
You must be a newbie here for calling Edcüre a Wailer. Sorry, you just surfaced in the 2016. If you can check his old posts you'll understand that your support for Buhari can't match his at all. He is a tested BUHARIST

EdCure:

This is possibly a manifestation of illiteracy and innate bigotry at unimaginable proportion.

What could be a worse attribute from the leader of such diverse entity like Nigeria!
