A research by an Abuja-based Non-Governmental Organisation, Governance and Sustainable Development Initiatives, has revealed that Anambra State is the biggest beneficiary of federal appointments in the last two years.

This is contrary to an earlier summary of federal appointments presented by the office of the Secretary to The Federal Government in May which indicated that Delta was the leading state in terms of federal appointments.

The SGF presented the summary of federal appointees as proof that efforts of the administration in the last two years to correct the outstanding imbalances in federal appointments had begun to yield the desired results. It was presented as part of the Mid-Term Report of the Jonathan administration.

But the appraisal and detailed analysis of the list by GSDI punched holes in the report. The NGO called to question the integrity of the data and the “inconsistencies contained in it.” It said further that the data analysis and deductions “were on the basis of the narrow prism of geo-political balancing.”

The NGO readily points to the “duplication and wrong listing” of appointees by the SGF. It said: “For a start, the total number of appointees involved in the SGF analysis was not 551 but 545, as four appointees namely - Alhaji Yusuf Usman Abdallah, DG National Commission for Museums and Monuments; Mr Adebayo Atoyebi, Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Press Council; Alhaji Abubakar H. Tanko, Conservator General of the National Parks and Dr Kabir M. Anka, Medical Director Federal Medical Center, Gusau, from Kano, Kwara, Niger and Zamfara States respectively, had their names and designations repeated.

“Professor Chinedu Nebo from Enugu State, already appointed as Minister of Power, was still listed as the Vice- Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti. Rivers State, which the summary indicates as having 16 political appointees, had only 15 on the list. Professor Oye Ibidapo Obe was listed under Lagos whereas he is from Osun State.”

The GSDI pointed to the “grave omission or non-inclusion" of key appointees of certain federal agencies. It said: “For the NNPC and the CBN, what was listed were only the Group Managing Director and the Governor respectively. None of the six group executive directors of the NNPC or the four deputy governors of the CBN was listed. The subsidiary companies of the NNPC are also missing.”

The NGO queried why career-based appointments were lumped with political appointments and faulted the non-inclusion of ministers, advisers and appointments arising from electoral processes.

After including the ministerial/political appointments, top bureaucratic appointments and top legislative positions, the NGO’s list of the all-comers appointees went up from 545 to 680.
When all the political appointments at the ministerial, bureaucratic and legislative levels were added to the SGF data, the leading states in terms of total appointments changed.

Anambra displaced Delta as number one with 35 slots. Other leading states according to the GSDI study were Delta (34), Kaduna (29), Kogi (28), Kwara (28), Ogun (27), Osun (27), Edo (26), Adamawa (26), Imo (24), Katsina (24) and Bayelsa (24), while States with the least number of total appointments were: Zamfara (7), Taraba (7), Lagos (9), Ebonyi (9), Yobe (11), and Sokoto (11).

The NGO’s report was signed by its CEO, Dr Goke Adegoroye, a retired Federal Permanent Secretary and pioneer Director General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms.

So what has this done? This report tells us exactly what?

this is the same thing that led to the massacre of ibos in 1966. make una continue in this marginalization of the north. wait until we take power in 2015 all of una go hear am.

peter obi has connived with jonathan to corner all the federal posts to anambra.

mens dept: So what has this done? This report tells us exactly what?

short up if you do not know what to say. the north and sw is being impoverished by giving all the appointments to anambra.

If true, then obi's romance with the presidency has'nt been in vain after all.

so is now by romance? abi. when the north will bring muslim-muslim president and vice don't complain oo. wicked anambra ibo people. always domineering.

This report is rubbish as it doesn't take into consideration the State of Residence. How can an Anambrian who has lived all his life and pay tax to Lagos State be counted as a beneficiary of Government appointment under Anambra State.

When you consider the above for all the Anambrians living outside their Ancestral State, you will know that Ndigbo are truly marginalized.

^
rubbish!
it is not true. because they still send money home wherever they may be and also go to anambra to build mansions. how can u explain all those big beautiful houses i see each time i visit anambra state.

silly report let
them publish all the names of the appointed men and women

Tell that to your arrogant and trickish leaders who removed Religion and State of Origin from Census Data

Hypocrites.

Tomorrow the north would be clamouring for an Almajiri like you to be made minister of information.

You sound like a silly goat. How do you expect Anambrq not to lead the pack when they have to score 139 to gain admission in the same exam in which you are expected to score 2.

Wouldn't it make more sense for Anambra to have 139 appointments to Yobe state's 2?

you ibos have this propinsity of changing the torpic each time you are caught with the facts and figure. jonathan built almajiri school in the north and went to bayelsa and anambra to built world class scientific school. that is marginalizazion. all these marginalisazion will end in 2015 when we take over power. bllody ibos

Did you expect him to build scientific schools for those to who Boko is haram or for those who can only score 2/200. Learn to crawl before walking.

As for power returning to North in 2015, that's no big deal. You lot gave had it for 40 years and still poverty is the middle name of an average Northerner while illiteracy is their surname.

buying you and your brothas over is very simple. that is why buhari did not have to boda himself campaigning in the east. we shall do it again come 2015. it is buhari or nigeria will blow. marginalising us is now too much. look at anambra taking the slot of entire region in the north. with conniving of the jonathan.

This dude is funny

Look at this shameless parasite.
How much does the north contribute to the federation account?
Secondly,what has the north done with all the years they've been in power?
Incase you don't know GEJ is currently the glue that holds the country together.
If an islamic fundamentalist replaces him,then Nigeria as we know it is history.

Some threads are better deleted from d time it was created.

Funny enough, some of the immediate communities, family member, even the state don't benefit from those who are appointed to this position.

They only know their children whom they send to abroad and finish

So you are no longer Igbo because you have lived in Zamfara for a long time?

Each time I try to convince myself that Nigeria is one, some oaf reminds me that it is not.
What do these people want from us for heaven's sake?
Honestly people who reason like this OP MUST NEVER AGAIN be allowed to rule Nigeria.

deleated? becus it horts to say the truth? wicked people

abu12: Funny enough, some of the immediate communities, family member, even the state don't benefit from those who are appointed to this position.

where have you get that? this is why there is povaty and boko haram in the north, becus the oil money and appointment is not shared equally. 2015 will settle this matter when north will start to rule. wicked ibos. peter obi cornnived with the jonathan to share all federal jobs leaving the north empty. only the SE and SS that is benefitting from the govament. the north and SW is a suffering.
