FCC Demands Nigeria Customs Service Halt Recruitment Training
The Federal Character Commission (FCC) has instructed the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to suspend its ongoing recruitment training, citing alleged violations of federal character principles. The FCC's Chairman of the Committee on Financial Services, Abdulwasiu K. Bawa-Allah, stated that numerous candidates who completed the necessary screening and medical processes were not invited for training, while others not on the final list received invitations.
This situation has raised concerns about manipulation and public trust, with some candidates reportedly resigning from their jobs in anticipation of recruitment. The FCC criticized the NCS for conducting the recruitment without its oversight, despite attempts to engage with the Customs Service being ignored by the Comptroller-General.
The FCC emphasized its constitutional role in ensuring equitable recruitment across federal institutions and questioned the legitimacy of the recruitment process without its participation.
