Nigeria’s House of Representatives Committee on Customs and Excise has expressed concern over what it called ”pressure” being mounted on members by constituents on the ongoing recruitment exercise.
Leke Abejide, Chairman of the committee raised the concern while briefing newsmen on Friday in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
He said that the NCS’s current recruitment was sequel to some vacancies on certain cadres, adding that it was not general recruitment.
He noted that the 774 local government areas in the country had been granted four candidates each, stressing that the NCS could not recruit beyond the given number.
According to him, every local government area is entitled to four candidates, so, to ensure fairness, the recruitment is being carried out to ensure equality across local government areas.
Abejide decried the level of pressure being mounted on members to lobby for slot on their behalf, stressing that the amount of pressure necessitated the press briefing to correct the erroneous insinuation.
