Speaker Abbas Orders Probe Into Alleged Unfair Recruitment in National Assembly

Speaker of the Nigerian House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has ordered a thorough investigation into allegations of unfair recruitment within the National Assembly.

The directive follows claims of bias in recruitment towards certain regions, which the House leadership vehemently denies. Speaker Abbas Tajudeen emphasized the unity of the House and instructed the House Committee on Public Service Matters to conduct a comprehensive investigation and report back.

The Speaker reaffirmed the commitment to equity, justice, and fairness in recruitment practices.
