Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, Chairman Ad hoc Committee, probing Lobsided employments in Federal Government agencies has disclosed the commitment of the committee in abolishing waivers to bypass advertisement of employment opportunities.
Gagdi made the disclosure during the resumption of the investigative hearing on Monday 27th and Tuesday August 28, 2023.
Hon. Yusuf Gagdi noted with concerns how almost all the government agencies who appeared in the hearing so far were carrying out their employment secretly as they always applied for waivers to avoid advertising.
He said that waiver does not even exist in the Federal Character Commission Act and at the end of this investigation, the committee will make a recommendation to completely strike out waiver during employments.
He said, “We will abolish waivers for employment advertisements. We will abolish the use of waivers because waiver is not for the good of this country. It is an abuse of the citizens of Nigeria.
“When they give you waivers, you share the slots among Directors in the agencies and the political masters that superintend over those agencies. Whether it is the National Assembly I don’t care. But whenever waiver is given, you do not advertise and give opportunity to citizens of this country to have access to recruitment.”
