The Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, has directed all Federal Tertiary institutions that have been granted waivers to recruit staff to publicly advertise the available vacancies in at least one national daily newspaper, on their respective websites, and in other relevant academic and professional journals.
The directive according to a statement by Director of Press & Public Relations, Mrs Folashade Boriowo aims to ensure a transparent, open, and competitive recruitment process that offers equal opportunity to all eligible Nigerians.
This follows the waivers granted to Federal Tertiary Institutions based on submissions made by these institutions concerning their manpower requirements, in line with the Ministry’s commitment to enhancing the capacity of our higher education institutions.
In addition, all Federal Tertiary Institutions are reminded to submit their recruitment needs to the Ministry for review by the Committee on Waiver and Recruitment.
