PSC’s Firm Stance on Recruitment Integrity
In a statement issued on Tuesday by Mr. Ikechukwu Ani, Head of Press and Public Relations for the PSC, the commission addressed the swirling controversy. Ani clarified that any statements suggesting the PSC had cancelled the final list did not originate from the commission and urged the public to disregard such misinformation.
“The recruitment exercise was conducted in strict accordance with relevant guidelines and provisions of the law,” Ani stated. He emphasized that the PSC had recently completed a routine maintenance of its portal, which lists the successful candidates, and reassured that the portal has been restored with its original contents intact.
Addressing the NPF’s Corruption Allegations
The NPF had previously raised concerns about the integrity of the recruitment process, alleging that corruption tainted the selection and that the final list included names of individuals who had not applied. In response, the PSC’s firm position underscores its commitment to a transparent and merit-based recruitment process.
Ani dismissed the NPF’s allegations as “deliberate antics of desperate groups bent on destroying the good work of the commission.” He urged the successful candidates to ignore the misinformation and reassured them of the legitimacy of their recruitment.
