The Nigeria Prisons Service and the nation’s Fire Service
are to employ nearly 10,000 Nigerians.
While the Prisons will employ 7, 475, the Fire Service will
recruit 2,200 new staff.
Both agencies received approval for the recruitments from
the Civil Defence, Fire, Immigration and Prisons Services Board.
The board is headed by the Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman
Dambazau.
The board has also approved the abolition of dichotomy
between holders of Bachelor’s Degree and Higher National Diploma (HND) in the
services under the Ministry of Interior, the News Agency of Nigeria reported
Tuesday.
A statement signed by the Secretary of the board, Al-Hassan
Yakmut, said the chairman of CDFIPB gave the approval at the board’s meeting
held between May 9 and May 10 in Abuja.
It was not immediately clear when the recruitment processes
will start.
Mr Yakmut said after the board’s meeting, a technical
committee was immediately set up to work out modalities for the implementation
of the equating of degree and HND holders.
“The meeting also approved the recruitment of 2,200
candidates into the federal fire service, and 7,475 candidates into the Nigeria
Prisons Service.
“Dambazau wishes the candidates a successful career in the
services and pledges commitment of the board to ensuring adequate
pre-deployment training,’’ he said.
