I Cancelled Wike’s 10,000 Civil Service Jobs Because Its Process Was Flawed – Governor Fubara

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has cancelled the 10,000 jobs in the State Civil Service approved by his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

He recently revealed that a fresh recruitment process would be carried out, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he cancelled the recruitment because the process was flawed and compromised by those entrusted to handle it.

He added that a more transparent process would commence soon, and the right people will benefit.

His words, “I know that is the first question, the ten thousand jobs, When we came on board we already had details that were submitted to us from the 23 local government areas.

You will agree with me that when we subjected those names to proper scrutiny, most of those names, in fact, 60 per cent of those names were over-aged. They were names that people brought for political patronage.

But what we are talking about today is employment for the future. I, personally after the analysis of those things, said ‘How will you employ somebody who is 52 years old as a civil servant?

How many years is the person going to work before retirement?”

WOW.
