Borno State Governor, Kashim
Shettima, has approved immediate recruitment of 300 graduates into the state
Civil Service.
This is contained in a statement
by Isa Gusau, his Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy.
Shettima gave the approval while
presenting certificates to 10 youths sponsored by the State Government for a
one-year course on electricity generation, distribution and transmission at the
National Power Training Institute, Maiduguri, on Sunday.
“Shettima has directed the State
Civil Service Commission to begin procedures for the recruitment of 300
graduates of various fields from the 27 local government areas into the
service,” Gusau said.
He explained that the 300 slots
were created in the service due to successful verification of workers in the
civil service during which 10,000 ghost workers were detected.
Those detected, Gusau
lamented, had siphoned over 500 million from government for more than 20
years.
He added that “The government
now spends about N2.2 billion monthly for salaries and pensions as against the
previous salary bill of N2.7 billion since 1999″.
The media adviser said the
governor assured that more workers would be eventually employed in other
categories of the civil service.
