Niger Govt cancels 2019 Teachers recruitment

By Jennifer Y Omiloli

The government of Niger State has announced the immediate cancelation of 2500 teachers ‘ recent recruitment exercise.

The recruitment was administered by the National Universal Board of Basic Education (NSUBEB).

This follows complaints and public outcry about the processes that resulted in the selection and issuance of letters of appointment to the recruited people.

There have been allegations that letters of appointment have been sold to the highest bidder while placements and posts have been made without due process

This was revealed in a statement from the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mrs. Mary Noel Berje.

Berje said that suspected irregularities in the recruitment process and transfers of teachers led to the state government canceling the exercise.

The statement read in part: “Alleged irregularities and malpractices in the teachers’ recruitment exercise and appointments necessitated the cancellation of the exercise by the state government.

“The selection and appointment processes will be investigated, revalidated and strengthened to ensure that only qualified persons are recruited.

“ Those who have already received their appointment letters and are truly eligible have nothing to fear during the revalidation exercise.

“The state government will issue a statement on the new guidelines for the selection and revalidation processes within the shortest time possible.”
