Finally, Senate Probes Lopsided SSS Recruitment by kokozain(m): 8:19pm On May 18, 2017 |
The Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs says it has commenced investigation into the lopsided recruitment by the State Security Services, SSS. The chairman of the committee, Tijjani Kaura, who announced this during Thursday’s plenary, promised that the committee would soon come up with its recommendations. Quoting Order 43 of the Senate Standing Order, Mr. Kaura said the committee was prompted to commence investigation into the matter following petitions from concerned Nigerians. He assured the committee would stop at nothing to ensure that the issue of federal character as contained in 1999 Constitution (Amended) was followed to the letter. “I stand before you, on behalf Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter- Governmental Affairs, to say that this committee is looking critically into this matter. “This is with the intention of ensuring that justice is done in this recruitment. “I also want to add that this committee has similar cases from different agencies, which it is already looking into to ensure the Constitution is strictly followed,” he said. The president of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, urged the committee to carry out thorough investigation into the matter and report back to the Senate. “In line with our standing rule, we cannot debate on the matter. We take note of your comment and we will look into the matter. “The committee should keep us posted on its findings and recommendations.” The Senate probe is coming days after the Federal Character Commission asked the SSS to explain the shockingly skewed appointments into the organisation. Shockingly lopsided PREMIUM TIMES had on April 28 exclusively reported the shocking lopsidedness in the composition of the new officers recently absorbed into the agency. The agency, also called DSS, had commissioned 479 cadet officers after their passing-out parade in Lagos on March 5, after a nine-month training programme under the agency’s Basic Course 29/2016/17, which encompassed academic activities, insurgency/counter insurgency, intelligence operations and gathering, firearms drills and physical training exercises. Also Read: EXCLUSIVE: SSS in recruitment scandal – Katsina 51, Akwa Ibom 5; Kano 25, Lagos 7 — SEE FULL LIST But PREMIUM TIMES investigations revealed wide disparity in the numbers of slots allocated to the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, indicating that the federal character principle may have been ignored in the recruitment of the officers. Our findings revealed that the SSS recruited 51 persons from Katsina State alone whereas all the six states in the south-south got a combined 42 candidates. Also, all the five states in the south-east got less than 50 states. The action is believed to have unduly favoured northern states, contrary to section 14 (3) of the 1999 constitution as amended. The report sparked outrage across the land, with many calling for thorough investigations into the alleged lopsidedness. source:- http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/231577-finally-senate-probes-lopsided-sss-recruitment.html |

Just like Nigeria of today Nothing good would be achieved if the Chairman of the committee is from the same benefiting HausaFulaniKanuris-Muslims. Get one Uchenna or Rotimi to chair it...lots of secrets would bee unearthed.. Everything in Nigeria is usually beautiful until u allow a HausaFulaniKanuris-Muslims Northerner to head it....then u see waste, hate, stealing, nepotism, bigotry and division. Islamic Doctrines do not allow them to reason rationally as humans. Look at Buhari, Alimodu Sheriff, JEGA, Dauras, ABBA kyari, Elrufai, Danbazau, lai, and all dem ma.... 4 Likes 1 Share |

Ngokafor:The presence of Ekweremadu and Abiribe in the top echelons of the senate is what is keeping any form of sanity in Nigeria. If it were any other region, the entire south would have been betrayed. |
