Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has cancelled the 10, 000 jobs in the State Civil Service approved by his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, saying a fresh recruitment process would be carried out.
Before leaving office, Governor Wike approved the immediate employment of a significant number of youths to fill existing vacancies in the state’s workforce, effective immediately.
However, Fubara during an interactive session with stakeholders in Port Harcourt, said he cancelled the recruitment because the process was flawed and compromised by those entrusted to handle it.
He stated that a more transparent process would commence soon, promising that the social contract between his administration and the Rivers people will remain an unbroken bond to drive governance on a healthy footing.
