Almost all federal ministries, departments and agencies have been carrying out illegal mass recruitments,
SUNDAY PUNCH gathered on Saturday.

Many government parastatals including the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, the Federal Inland Revenue Service, and the Nigerian Prisons Service, among others have been dogged by recruitment scandals which they have vehemently denied.

A document obtained by our correspondent showed that following a review carried out by the Ministry of Finance, 183 out of 185 MDAs had recruited 13,780 staff in recent years.

Out of this number, 6,917 were recruited without any formal approval; 2,314 were employed by seven universities with governing council approval; only while 4,549 had correctly obtained approval from the Office of the Head of Service and Federal Character Commission.

The review showed that out of the 185 agencies, only the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigerian Army sought approval for their recruitment.

Following this discovery, a report prepared by the panel was forwarded to President Muhammadu Buhari before he travelled to the United Kingdom for medical treatment asking that the MDAs be ordered to follow due process.

It was gathered that the President ordered the Office of Secretary to Government of the Federation to carry out an investigation, while also placing a ban on recruitment without approval.

One of the officials involved in the recruitment told SUNDAY PUNCH that under the pretext of replacing workers that had either resigned or were given the boot, the 183 agencies carried out mass recruitment without following due process.

The official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorised to speak to the press said, “The worst culprits are universities, hospitals and the Nigerian Prisons Service.

One university in Nasarawa recruited 800 people without due process while another hospital hired 200 without approval. Sources in the government told SUNDAY PUNCH that illegal hiring makes it difficult to sanitise the payroll and control personnel cost.

A senior government official said a lot of nepotism was involved and added that the illegal recruitment was one of the reasons there were regional imbalances in employment of civil servants.

“More important, the recruitment is without reference to budgetary provisions, hence leading to the risk of unpaid salaries and the need for virement which increases payroll cost,” the official stated.

Explaining how the illegal recruitment are carried out, the source stated, “For example, if a director who earns N300,000 monthly should retire, the agency will bring in six people at the cost of N50,000 per month which they use in replacement of the retiree. So, they will have six workers that were never needed. They call it replacement and spread these slots to politicians. But it’s killing the civil service.

In some cases, the slots are sold in exchange for six months’ pay from those recruited.”

It was further gathered that apart from the probe and ban ordered by Buhari, the President approved that the Budget Office should be more involved in recruiting people to work in the civil service.

The source added, “The SGF and the Head of Civil Service were told to issue circulars on recruitment. The minister of finance also recommended that the procedure should be amended to require a clearance letter from the Director General of the Budget Office to confirm budgetary provision for any planned recruitment.”

That is typical in Nigeria, recruitment advert is just a ceremonial thing. They already have whom they want to employ.

Okay

Mischievous article

if the employments in the federal universities got the approval of their various governing council then it is no longer illegal.

.

Wetin person no go see for this country.. ehn

Corruption under this administration is alarming

Zoogeria is an eternal scam! But if the illegal employments give jobless graduates a chance to feed themselves then I say "Let the scamming continue!"

God punish britain for granting us independence . am beginin to agree with Lord Lugard on this brutal submission


"In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, lacking in self-control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals' placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the state he has reached.

"Through the ages, the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural. He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility - he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and defects of his race -type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy. Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future

Please sack those involved.
Please sack those illegally employed and ban them from re applying.
Then employ new ones.

So we have such high numbers of ministries and Agencies yet this country is like this?.
Please what are they all for?.

Ok

And someone is still shouting One Naijeria

This is no more a country. How do we come about all these cancerworms and vagabonds. The same thing that Gej did that wreck him is the same practising under these devilish change chanters. What is hope for common man and where is the future in all these. The looting is even more strife under the goro chewing fulani jihadist. This is too much.

This country self

this is why some people have given up onjob hunt

Nigeria why?

May God save my dear country.

Who cares. Corruption is not the problem. What exactly is the function of the civil service. Trying to discover that since independence.
