The Central Bank of Nigeria who is at the centre of a recruitment scandal which was exposed online, has said it opted for a secret process of hiring new staff because the bank was doing 'targeted recruitment'.
It was reported some weeks ago that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Godwin Emefiele, handed out jobs of the apex bank to the children of those highly connected in order to save his own.
The apex bank's recruitment scandal which was exposed sees the CBN governor, allegedly employ at least 91 people tied to influential or highly placed Nigerians in a hiring process that was highly secretive.
The list of beneficiaries of the CBN’s job largesse include a daughter of former Vice President, Abubakar Atiku, a son of Mamman Daura, a nephew of President Muhammadu Buhari and one of the closest members of the president’s inner circle, a son of the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, a daughter of former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Na’aba, also daughter of the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, a son of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Abdurahman Danbazzau and at least 86 others.
As the news went viral and generated media reactions, the Central Bank of Nigeria, disclosed that it opted for a secret process of hiring new staff in the past two years because the bank was doing 'targeted recruitment'.
The CBN’s acting Director of Corporate Communications, Isaac Okorafor, said in an interview that the bank did nothing illegal or wrong in hiring without advertising.
"In the last two years, we have had cause to recruit specialists, and what the law says is that if we are going for that kind of recruitment we should apply for waiver, so that we can do targeted recruitment," Mr. Okoroafor said, adding that the bank obtained waiver from the Federal Character Commission.
"The other issue is that there are states that are not well represented (in the CBN), and in this case we focus on those states to recruit people of certain classes that we used to cover the shortfall in those states," he said.
Mr. Okoroafor however said he was not ready to confirm or deny the names on the list. "Is there any qualified Nigerian who does not have the right to work in the CBN?," he asked.

We will soon be there

Ok

Targeted recruitment my foot. So how did they find them? By Googling them? Absolute nonsense!

What i don't understand is i am not among is that i am not a professional or i don't know somebody that knows somebody. Nonsence

Children of the poor doesn't fall into the target group, only Una children are targeted.
God will surely pay you guys with the evil you are doing.

The beginning of the end of Emefiele reign as CBN governor may have started. I don't think he can swim out of the murky waters of Nigerian politics that has overwhelmed him.

Ignore him we know their kind.

Nigerian youths are the most gullible on this planet, you argue, you spill blood, get injured, shot at by security forces, celebrate on the streets and get killed for these good for nothing politicians whose intent is to siphon all available public money and juicy positions in Nigeria.

I weep for this country, for the gullible followers, one idiot above is even given excuses for this government that buhari wouldn't deal with every bit of issue that comes up, the idiot forgot to mention that buharis nephew is among the beneficiaries. Buh the sai buhari zombies and idiots are still roaming the streets and losing the jobs the fortunate few have, Buh they are still here defending this useless government.

All Nigerian politicians are thieves, all of em ranging from the president to the least of councillors. All of em are in power and circles of power to see how much they can get from the system. The day we get that into our gullible skull, the day we would start making progress as a nation. F.u.ck PDP fu.c.k APC, Zap Nigerian politicians. They are all the same, Imagine wike advocating people to be violent and kill opposition while he flies his family abroad so that they wouldn't get hurt. Nigerians deserves what we get from their leaders

This silence is corruption on it's own

Emefiele & the CBN are bloody liars. so, those secretly recruited are "specialist", so the wealth and political influence of their parents is what makes them a "specialist". emefiele is a bastard. i blame buhari for not sacking the bastard. this same man approved millions of dollars from the cbn to dasuki and pdp, dasuki is facing trial and emefiele is going higher. Am patriotically angry wit so many shits in dis country. I feel like shooting some bad eggs in dis country

Well I taught expat/specialists were contracted, not "fully" employed

Besides, how would I be a Minister and my "SON" would be in a queue to be recruited into CBN? It's one of the things I don't understand about these polithieves.
