Service (NPS) has revealed that majority of those hired were from the north.
According to Sahara Reporters, 538 new recruits were hired under the
leadership of the controller-general, Ahmed Ja’afaru and the minister of the
interior Abdulrahman Dambazau without following the federal character
guideline on national recruitment.
A source revealed that there were two separate lists of names of new
recruits who were to undergo new hire training in Lagos or Kaduna.
The first list is titled: “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.
370 recruits from the 530 names were from the 14 northern states which
make up 68 per cent of the illegal recruits. Out of the 530 recruits, Enugu State
has only one employee.
Francis Enobore who is the spokesperson of the NPS said he “cannot
recollect any recruitment announcement”.
He also said that unless a person was hired, it was not possible for the
person to undergo training.
Sources at the NPS however claimed that officials backdated letters of
appointment for the illegal hires to cover the tracks.
The same sources that if the training was for members of staff, it would have
been in small batches but a training of that magnitude was for new recruits.
Mr Enobore admitted that a legal process was required to hire new recruits
as the NPS “would need to make their case before the Federal Government,
request to declare new vacancies, and have that request approved.”
He also confirmed that the Federal Character Commission would need to be
involved to ensure no single ethnic group or State receives preferential hires.
This recruitment is similar to the illegal recruitment that occurred within the
Central Bank of Nigeria where children and family members of top politicians
were secretly offered employment.
