The list of beneficiaries of the CBN’s
secret job recruitment includes a daughter of former Vice President
Abubakar Atiku, a son of Mamman Daura, a nephew of President Buhari and
one of the closest members of the president’s inner circle, a son of the
Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, a
daughter of former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali
Na’aba, also daughter of of the Inspector General of Police, Solomon
Arase, a son of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Abdurahman Danbazzau
and at least 86 others.
This report has sparked up public outcry
as many believe that the bank should have publicized the job openings
for many other people to to apply.
However in an interview with Premium Times
yesterday March 16th, the CBN’s acting Director of Corporate
Communications, Isaac Okorafor said the bank did nothing illegal or
wrong in hiring without advertising.
“In the last two years, we have had cause to recruit specialists, and what the law says is that if we are going for that kind of recruitment we should apply for waiver, so that we can do targeted recruitment” He said the bank obtained waiver from the Federal Character Commission. “The other issue is that there are states that are not well represented (in the CBN), and in this case we focus on those states to recruits people of certain classes that we used to cover the shortfall in those states,”he said
