He said the lopsided nature of the recruitment list speaks volumes of official corruption in the system capable of denying Nigeria the services of the best hands in the country.
MURIC alleges lopsidedness, demands explanation
“The list of successful candidates in the 2019/2021 replacement and recruitment supplementary exercise of the Civil Defence Corps, Correctional Service (NCS), Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDIPB) is being circulated in the media.
“Out of 411 names of successful candidates that appeared on the list, only five were in the Sokoto state column. As if that is not enough, a closer look at the names springs another surprise.”
Akintola added that none of the names in the Sokoto column appears to have come from the state by origin, adding that the names include, Abdurrazaq Adinoyi, Y, Mercy Chukwukeru, Nwauzor Peace, Ezema Emeka, and Umar Tijani.
He frowned at the infraction and demanded that the board provide explanations for the glaring anomaly without delay, to avoid breeding bad blood, adding that it was not impossible that the list was fake.
