The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari, to reverse the illegal recruitment carried out in the last 5 years.
According to the civil servants, most of the appointments made into the federal public service by the Goodluck Jonathan administration, were against the law.
President of ASCSN, Bobboi Bala Kaigama, released a statement on Wednesday, citing extreme bias in the manner in which the Federal Civil Service Commission carried out its oversight functions in the name of recruitment.
He said, “Our take is that the commission cannot continue to hide under the guise of spurious waivers for some disadvantaged states to import and impose unqualified and incompetent persons into the federal public service over and above qualified serving officers.
“Cases abound in the service of some officers who were appointed to positions without the requisite qualifications, as provided for in the scheme of service, FCSC guidelines on appointment, promotion and discipline, public service rules and establishment circulars. Graduates with eight to 12 years post-graduation experience are being appointed as directors. It is as bad as that.
“We have made our case known to the commission and the Presidency on this vexed issue and we are still waiting for a reversal of all illegal recruitments made in the past five years in order to return sanity into the system. We make bold to say that if the reversal is not effected as being demanded, the ASCSN will have no alternative than to adopt other trade union measures to seek redress.”
