Nigerian Prisons Service Illegally Hires 538 Recruits, Most Are From Northern States
Sources speaking to SaharaReporters in an ongoing investigation disclosed that the Nigerian Prisons Service, under the leadership of the Controller-General Ahmed Ja’afaru and Minister of the Interior Abdulrahman Dambazau, has hired around 538 recruits without following established laws for public recruitment exercises.
BY SAHARA REPORTERS, NEW YORKJUL 01, 2016
Sources speaking to SaharaReporters in an ongoing investigation disclosed that the Nigerian Prisons Service, under the leadership of the Controller-General Ahmed Ja’afaru and Minister of the Interior Abdulrahman Dambazau, has hired around 538 recruits without following established laws for public recruitment exercises.


This latest finding follows similar illegal employment schemes by the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) Executive Chairman Tunde Fowler. It will be recalled that Mr. Emefiele oversaw a monumental recruitment fraud where he illegally hired the children and relatives of powerfully connected Nigerians throughout the Federal Government. Mr. Fowler, similarly, illegally recruited the friends and relatives of prominent personalities in Nigeria. SaharaReporters also published the sponsor list of illegal FIRS hires—the majority of whom were chosen by Mr. Fowler, Senator Owan Enoh who sits on the Senate Finance Committee, and by various people around President Muhammadu Buhari.

Sources leaked two separate lists of names of new recruits who were to undergo new hire training in Lagos or Kaduna. The title of the first list is “List of Newly Recruited ASP in Training” and that it is to take place at the Prisons Training College in Kiri-Kiri, Lagos State. The second list is titled “List of Newly Recruited Trainees June 2016” and that it is to take place at Prisons Training School in Kaduna State.

It was also revealed that the majority of these illegal hires are from northern states, according to these same sources. A casual tally of all 538 names found that around 370 were from 14 northern states, or about 68% of total illegal hires. This calculation was based on the state of origin of the illegal hire and not whether any one person belongs to a specific ethnic group.

SaharaReporters reached out to the spokesman for the Nigerian Prisons Service, Francis Enobore, with some of these allegations and findings.

Mr. Enobore told SaharaReporters that he “cannot recollect any recruitment announcement” in the recent months.

He added that he cannot speak to the authenticity of the list of hires unless SaharaReporters is in possession of their letters of appointment.

Mr. Enobore also said that no hire can undergo training with the NPS unless they have been formally hired and possesses a letter of appointment.

Sources at the NPS told SaharaReporters that, in an effort to cover their tracks and conceal their illegal activity, officials backdated letters of appointment for the illegal hires to attempt to have plausible deniability if their crimes ever surface.

These same sources also explained that have a massive training exercise, with the number of NPS staff listed on these training sheets, only takes place when there is an influx of new hires.

“You see when NPS staff are re-trained or brought in for refresher it is usually in small batches” rather than more than 500 people at a time, according to this same source.

This source added that a training of this size would be considered strange in any circumstance other than massive training for new hires.

Speaking again on the matter Mr. Enobore confirmed that there is a legal process to hire employees at the NPS. He explained that the NPS “would need to make their case before the Federal Government, request to declare new vacancies, and have that request approved.”

Mr. Enobore also confirmed that the Federal Character Commission would need to be involved to ensure no single ethnic group or State receives preferential hires. He would not comment on the list having many more new hires from northern States other than to say that letters of appointment are needed to confirm.

News of this illegal employment scheme follows a jailbreak of several prisoners from Kuje Prison in Abuja, allegations that the escapees had assistance from NPS staff, and removed a prison officer Musa Tanko under suspicion that he may have been involved.

The full list of new hires can be read below:

EFCC Jobs: More than 300,000 jostle for 750 spaces

ON JUNE 29, 201610:40 PMIN NEWSCOMMENTS

No fewer than 300,000 applications were received for the 750 positions advertised by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the commission has said.

The EFCC’s director of public affairs, Osita Nwaja, announced the figures in Enugu when he visited the Enugu zonal office of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).


EFCC operatives
Mr. Nwaja said that the recruitment was segmented, adding that the first phase of the exercise ended on June 26.

“We had more than 300,000 applicants that applied for the 750 positions which are in three cadres, junior, middle and senior cadres.

“We are considering a whole lot of junior staff so that they will grow in the system.

“The criteria were well spelt out and those that met them wrote the examination,” he said.

Mr. Nwaja said by the recruitment, the EFCC had moved to fortify its ranks in view of the onerous task of fighting corruption.

“The fight against corruption is fundamental to everything we do in this country. It is a fight we cannot afford to lose.

“We must keep on recruiting foot soldiers to meet our objective as it is geared toward the direction of making Nigeria greater,” he said.

The director said that the commission would not fail Nigerians, but could not fight corruption alone.

“We cannot do this alone and that is why we are always reaching out to the media.

“We have found in NAN a veritable ally in this task of curbing corruption in the country.

“We want to leverage on your wide reach, credibility and accessibility to achieve our mandate.

“A lot of work is going on at the zonal office of our commission.

“If this fight against corruption must be won, all Nigerians and institutions must join as this affects the common man,” Mr. Nwaja said.

Responding, the South East Zonal Manager of NAN, Vincent Okwor, said that the agency was open to collaborating with the commission in achieving its mandate.

Mr. Okwor said that the visit would afford the agency and the commission the opportunity to build on the already existing relationship at the zonal level.

He commended the commission for the job it was doing, which he said would go a long way to launder the battered image of the country.

The director was accompanied by the zonal head of public affairs of the commission, James Oluka, and his deputy, Jide Ilupeju.

Sponsors Of Illegal Federal Inland Revenue Services Hiring; See Prominent Nigerians Involved
SaharaReporters has exclusively obtained the sponsor-list of the employees that were illegally hired at the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
BY SAHARA REPORTERS, NEW YORKJUN 20, 2016
SaharaReporters has exclusively obtained the sponsor-list of the employees that were illegally hired at the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).


The list—which includes some of Nigeria’s most prominent political figures—was released to SaharaReporters following its June 15 report exposing the Executive Chairman of FIRS, Babatunde Fowler, as overseeing the recruitment exercise in violation of Nigerian laws and in further harm to President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption initiative.

The list of sponsors includes aides of President Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, political operatives of the All Progressives Congress (APC), federal legislators, the Federal Character Commission (FCC), as well as top officials of FIRS itself.  Also on the list are aides of the traditional ruler of Lagos, former President Shehu Shagari, and former Head of State Yakubu Gowon.  That broad span demonstrates the depth and magnitude of the illegal employment menace in the country. 

As in the case of the illegal hires of the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, which was exposed by SaharaReporters three months ago, Mr. Fowler illegally recruited no fewer than 349 new FIRS staff members by deliberately ignoring existing Nigerian regulations, laws, and guidelines for public jobs.

According to the list, Mr. Fowler himself sponsored the highest number of illegal hires, with at least 89 recruits being attributed to him.  As the corruption spread in the service, the Special Advisor to Mr. Fowler sponsored no fewer than eight illegal hires, while the Coordinating Directors of the Support Services Group, the Domestic Tax Group, and the Compliance and Standards Group (CSG) also took turns.

Sources speaking to SaharaReporters revealed that two hires—Rasheeda Seghosime and Danjuma Seghosime—are the children of FIRS CSG Coordinating Director Queensley Seghosime.

In a practice that parallels the gerrymandering and manipulation in the illegal CBN hires, the Seghosime siblings are curiously listed as being from two different States: Rasheeda listed under Jigawa State, and Danjuma under Delta State.

Another powerful political figure who repeatedly sponsored candidates is Senator Owan Enoh, (Cross River Central).  The list shows Mr. Enoh as having sponsored no fewer than 60 illegal hires.  Another lawmaker, Babangida Ibrahim, who represents Katsina State in the House of Representatives, also appears to have sponsored no fewer than 10 people. 

Sources with knowledge of the illegal hiring practices at the FIRS revealed to SaharaReporters that Mr. Enoh and Mr. Ibrahim, both of whom are the Chairmen on the Senate and House Finance Committees, worked with Mr. Fowler to distribute the public job spots to members of those committees.

This source explained that Mr. Enoh and Mr. Babangida may not even know all the names attributed to them as sponsors because they were intermediaries between Mr. Fowler at FIRS and the Finance Committee members in the Senate and House.

Neither Mr. Enoh or Mr. Ibrahim returned SaharaReporters calls when our correspondent sought comment on these developments.

No fewer than 35 illegal hires were sponsored by the “VP”, according to the sponsor list and FIRS sources speaking with our correspondent. However, according to one source, “I do not know whether these people were sponsored by the Vice President himself or people in his office.”

SaharaReporters spoke to Mr. Osinbajo’s spokesman Laolu Akande, who promised to respond to our inquiries on Friday but did not do so throughout the weekend.

The Secretary of the Government of the Federation, Babachir David Lawal, is listed as having sponsored no fewer than 27 illegal FIRS hires and was described as having enjoyed a “hands-on” role in selecting all hires.

A source at FIRS told SaharaReporters that, unlike many of the recruits sponsored by Mr. Enoh, SGF Lawal knew many of those he sponsored and was instrumental in selecting them to fill those spots. This source also added that Mr. Lawal was supposed to investigate allegations that FIRS was hiring people illegally as far back as April, but “simply ignored the issue.” It was also learned that at least 4 of the 27 illegal hires Mr. Lawal sponsored came from his wife.

Mr. Lawal told SaharaReporters by text and email that he was categorically certain that he had no role in the illegal hires and that reports linking him were false.

President Buhari’s Senior Special Advisers to the National Assembly, Kawu Sumaila and Ita Enang, are also listed as sponsors in the FIRS hires.  Mr. Sumaila, SSA to the House of Representatives, sponsored five job slots; Mr. Enang, eight. Sources explained that Mr. Fowler provided these slots to Mr. Sumaila and Mr. Enang as a gesture of good faith concerning future requests.

Sources explained the keywords used to convey who was sponsoring which illegal candidate:

·      CD meant Coordinating Director in various FIRS groups

·      EC stood for Executive Chairman, meaning Mr. Fowler;

·      DG BPSR meant Joe Abah, the Director General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms;

·      FCC stood for the Federal Character Commission, the Commissioners of which received job slots to distribute in exchange for ignoring the fact that FIRS was not publicly advertising the jobs.


Sahara Reporters Media
SaharaReporters sources could not confirm the code words “Baba” or “Mama”, which sponsored at least 20 and 10 jobs respectively, but curiously a duplicate name sponsored by “Mama” was also listed as being sponsored by “Small Villa.” It is believed that the code names were referring to President Muhammadu Buhari, who is widely called Baba, while "Mama" might be his wife, Hajia Aisha Buhari.  Our sources could not confirm to whom or what “Small Villa” represented, either.

As in the case of CBN Governor Emiefiele, sour sources explained to that Mr. Fowler was the mastermind for this monumental illegl employment scheme as a way for him to maintain control of FIRS even if he got sacked by President Buhari.

“FIRS not only has a massive budget but if Tunde were to leave he would still be able to influence the FIRS,” one source explained.

He added: “Tunde would be able to peddle influence and buy favors from Nigerian companies to give them assistance manipulating FIRS” after he leaves.

Sources from the FIRS also explained to our correspondent that most of these illegal hires were relatives or friends of the sponsors but that some job slots were sold for money.

Other names which are listed as having sponsored some of the illegal FIRS jobs are the Attorney General to the Federation, Abubakar Malami; Chief Pius Akinyelure; Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu; former Head of State General Yakubu Gowon; the Head of Service, Winifred Ekanem Oyo-Ita; the former FIRS Executive Chairman Ifueko Omoigui-Okauru; Minister of Information Lai Mohammed; the Minister of State for Planning Zainab Ahmed; the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu; former FIRS boss Alhaji Kabir Mashi; and APC Deputy Publicity Secretary Timi Frank.

According to SaharaReporters’ investigation, six of the new recruits are of the position of deputy director, while 10 are assistant directors.  Thirty-four others are of the rank of deputy manager, while the rest are made up of senior managers, managers, assistant managers and officers.

The full list of sponsors and illegal hires can be viewed below:

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Nigerian Ports Authority Massive Recruitment 2014. by obinna002: 6:16am On Jun 16, 2016
By Godfrey Bivbere

THE Senate is set to scrap the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, through the modified Ports and Harbours bill which seeks to create a new body to be known as Nigerian Ports and Harbours Authority.

The new bill which replaces the old one that has been at the National Assembly for over 10 years, is meant to strengthen the concession of Nigerian ports to ensure transparency, effective management and improved safety.


SENATE CHAMBER
The Bill which is sponsored by Sen. Andy Uba seeks to repeal the Nigerian Ports Authority Act, 2004 and enact the Nigerian Ports and Harbours Authority to provide for the ownership, management and development of ports and harbours.

A maritime journal, Ships and Ports reported that the bill recommends in part that for the provision of an “appropriate institutional framework for the ownership, management and development of ports and harbours.”

It states further that if privatised, it will “ensure the integrity, efficiency and safety of the ports based on principles of accountability, competition, fairness and transparency, and to encourage private sector participation in the provision of port services and port infrastructure and promote and safeguard Nigeria’s competitiveness and trade objectives.”

The Bill seeks to establish an authority which shall be vested with control and ownership of all ports and harbours on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria, transfer of the technical regulatory powers relating to ports to the Authority, and transfer of the ownership of the land and assets relating to ports currently vested in the Nigerian Ports Authority to the Authority”.

In reforming the sector, the senators may also separate the cargo handling section of the authority from landlord functions within ports and foster greater operating efficiency, accountability and transparency in the management and operation of ports.

The reform of the sector would also provide for “safe navigation, development and efficient management of harbours, channels and waterways and all other conservancy functions”.

The Bill recommends the facilitation of “transfer of technology, information systems and managerial expertise through private sector participation in port operations, creation of means of planning, coordinating, developing and integrating port policies with other maritime activities, surface and air transportation systems.”

The piece of legislation also proposes to introduce “maintenance of appropriate institutional arrangements to support good governance and accountability in ports.”

The new agency, the Senate proposes, should also establish a “reserve fund”, in the mode of the Excess Crude Account as it obtains in the case of proceeds from oil.

The Nigerian Ports and Harbours Bill was originally presented to the National Assembly by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2006 but failed to pass through both chambers. Unlike the new bill, the Obasanjo bill seeks for the splitting of the NPA to two autonomous authorities, the Western Ports and Harbours Authority and the Eastern Ports and Harbours Authority.

Staff Say Govt Not Sincere

 

Tony Ezimakor

Abuja – The Federal Government has directed massive retrenchment and retirements in all paramilitary agencies under the Ministry of Interior.

The action is likely to put over 50% of current workforce out of job and worsen the already bloated unemployment market.

The directive came barely few days the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration urged commercial banks operating in the country to halt ongoing mass sack of workers.

The directive is coming with the approval of Minister of Interior, Gen. Abdulrahman Danbazzau (rtd), through a circular dated May 25, 2016 and addressed to all chiefs of services under the Interior Ministry namely Immigration, Prisons, Fire and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

President Buhari had hinted during a national broadcast on May 29 of plans to sack a good number of workers in the federal civil service.

The president also disclosed that some 43,000 ghost workers had been discovered and weeded out from the civil service, leading to a saving of a whopping N4.2 billion monthly from the federal wage bill.

He had hinted that the plan to reduce the job lines in the federal ministries, departments and agencies had begun.

Signed by A. A. Ibrahim, Director/Secretary of the Civil Defence, Fire, Immigration and Prisons Services Board (CDFIPB), the various heads of the agencies are by the directive, given a veiled order to commence its implementation after they have notified officers and men in their services.

The directive, a competent source at the Interior Ministry hinted, is sequel to earlier decision in December, last year, by the Joint Services Board (JSB), where it was resolved to “expand” the “parameters for retirement of officers and men” in the employment of agencies under the supervision of the board.

The Joint Services Board in that resolution, Independent investigation revealed, opted to go beyond the extant civil service provisions with regard to when an officer exits the service to “import other parameters” which, according to our source, are not only irrelevant to the agencies but strange to the various Acts setting up the paramilitary bodies.

The civil service for instance provides that an officer retires at 60 years of age or after 35 years of service, whichever comes first. Retirement could also be on grounds of poor health, indolence, declining productivity, on grounds of discipline, when an officer is undeployeable as a result of restructuring, appointment, age, failure at promotion/board test, among other parameters.

Rather than adhere to the relevant provisions, the joint services board introduced a maximum age/rank based ceiling to determine exit points of officers and men, in addition to what is provided in the Acts that set them.

For instance an Assistant Controller of Prisons must have attained that rank between 34 and 48 years of age, otherwise he would have to retire from the service.

Similarly, a Comptroller General of Immigration must have also attained that rank within 50-60 years or exit. For ACGs the ceiling is 42-56 while DCGs is 46-58 years.

The import of this is that many officers and men who have stagnated in a position due to “lack of vacancies” because of the new age ceiling, would be forced out of service.

But some staff of the agencies who have sighted the directive have raised the alarm on a wholesale importation of military rule and scheme of service into the paramilitary services.

They cried hypocrisy on the part of government which recently appealed to banks in the country to stop sustained sack of workers, also blamed on some policies that were not well thought out.

They are of the view that the directive is instigated by the minister, a retired general. Accordingly, they insist that a full implementation of the directive cannot work unless an amendment of relevant Acts that set up the agencies are carried out by the National Assembly.

“We are paramilitary agencies and our rules are different. Even if what the minister is doing follows due process, is the proposal coming through the appropriate channels which include the Civil Service Commission, Head of Service, Establishment, Amending the Act through a Bill to the NASS etc”, queried a director in the ministry.

Nawaooooooooo
Paramilitary:
Despite the embargo placed by the Federal Government on
recruitment into the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the
agency may have commenced a secret exercise to recruit
hundreds of applicants allegedly sponsored by politicians.
The embargo followed the failed 2014 recruitment exercise
during which about 20 applicants died due to suffocation
and stampede caused by flawed crowd control mechanism
across many centres in the country. The national uproar
generated by the incident is part of the reason the then
Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, is facing criminal allegations
for which he has been remanded in prison.
The former minister is essentially standing trial in a case
instituted by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission
(EFCC) on allegations of defrauding 676,675 applicants the
sum of N676,675,000 being the summation of the N1000
paid by each applicant that participated in the recruitment
exercise.
Since the unfortunate incident and following government
directive, neither the NIS nor the Interior Ministry has
announced any fresh recruitment exercise, thereby raising
suspicion about the on-going exercise at the Immigration
Training School in Kano. About 500 applicants suspected to
have been recruited secretly by Nigeria Immigration Service
for cadet cadre are currently undergoing training at the NIS
school in Kano, The Guardian learnt.
It was gathered that the recruited cadets started training at
the Immigration school on March 7, 2016 after their
deployment from the agency’s headquarters in Abuja.
Observation at the NIS training school in Kano shows men
and women of between 30 and 35 age bracket undergoing
regimental exercise. The cadet’s population may have
overstretched the capacity of the training school’s hostels as
some of the classrooms were converted to temporary
hostels to solve the problem of accommodation.
A source at the training school told The Guardian that the
secretly shortlisted applicants were products of strong
political interest in the country. “Honestly, this particular
recruitment is strange to us here because we just received
the applicants from Abuja for training, nobody is aware how
and when the applicants applied for the job. Ordinarily,
recruitment exercise in the immigration service and even in
all Federal Government agencies are made public. You will
see vacancy in the dailies to enable every interested person
to apply, but this particular exercise is unique,” the source
said.
One of the cadets at the training school, who hails from
South West region, confirmed that his being shortlisted was
facilitated by a member representing his constituency in the
House of Representatives. He said: “ I was shortlisted by the
special grace of God, and the support of our honorable in
Abuja for this opportunity. We were told to report to Kano
training school on March 7 for the exercise before they will
later post us to various states. That was what they told us.”
The Guardian learnt that the training exercise would last
three months for those with National Diploma while
applicants with Higher National Diploma as well as those
with degrees would remain for the regimental exercise for
six months.
Contacted, the Public Relations Officer of the school, a Chief
Superintendent of Immigration, Mrs. Amina Nqua Habiba
Aliyu, denied knowledge of any fresh recruitment into the
service. She maintained that the school is only mandated to
receive applicants for training but would not be responsible
for explanation on the category of their recruitment
exercise.
Amina, who said she was only aware of the Federal
Government’s approved recruitment of 5,000 fresh cadets
into the system, however, noted that the directive had not
been executed.
On whether those who are presently undergoing training
were recruited secretly or on special consideration, the
spokesperson declined further comments, referring the
reporter to the Immigration headquarters for more
clarifications.
