The controversial
recruitment exercise conducted by the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC)
towards the twilight of Maurice Iwu’s inglorious tenure has been cancelled by
the electoral body under the leadership of Professor Attahiru Jega. It could be
recalled that Iwu hurriedly carried out the recruitment exercise as to plant
his men who will continue with his dirty work in INEC.
The electoral body said it took the final decision on the
recruitment exercise due to its avowed commitment to honest and transparent
delivery of the upcoming general elections.
Indeed, the decision taken by the new Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday to cancel the unethical
recruitment exercise carried out under Maurice Iwu has been greeted with
applause from well-meaning Nigerians who want merit to reign supreme in
employment exercises in the country.
In a five-paragraph statement issued by the commission
and signed by its Director of Public Affairs, Mr. Emmanuel Umenger, INEC said
the decision was taken after a careful evaluation of its institutional and
human capacities, already undertaken to reposition the commission to deliver on
its mandate.
The statement read: “In its avowed commitment to honest
and transparent delivery of the upcoming general election, the Independent
National Electoral Commission has cancelled the entire staff recruitment exercise
conducted early this year.”

Deregulation, the magic wand, we've been told is the only solution to our petroleum needs. Nigerians, the federal government insists, must embrace deregulation if they need petroleum products or face the fate of returning to the medieval era of using firewood and stones or at best acquire plenty of donkeys from northern Nigeria, if they must move around.
Hey Ladies, In the last publication we
talked about being independent as a lady and highlighted so many points, but we
want to continue exploring the independent state of mind placing emphasis on
when the quest for independence could turn into arrogance in homes or amidst
friends.
