NCAA’s Secret Employment: Northerners, Sirika’s home state dominate list
Over 380 employees have been secretly engaged by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) from 2015 till date without due process.
More shocking is that documents exclusively obtained by Saharareporters show that over 90 per cent of those employed are from the northern region of the country.
The document shows that out of 54 already given employment letters, 36 names have no state of origin attached to their names.
In the list of employment for 2023, Saharareporters gathered that the least Staff number for the new employees so far is NCAA/P.2078 while the highest Staff Number is NCAA/P.2229, which suggests that over 141 persons have been employed.
A source told SaharaReporters that “from 2015 till date, there have been no job adverts. There have been no interviews. Yet, they have been employing mainly people from the North”.
According to the source, it is more worrisome that “most of them are not even qualified”.
“A lot of them are being given very high salary grade levels above the existing and much more experienced staff,” the source said.
From the analysis of the employment lists marked ‘Confidential’ with state of origin attached to each name – Katsina state was allocated – 32 slots; Kaduna state -27; Kano -23; Yobe – 10; Borno – 9; Jigawa – 7; Gombe – 6; Bauchi – 6; Ondo – 6; Kogi – 7; Delta – 5; Adamawa – 3; Ogun – 3; Sokoto – 3; Benue – 3; Abia – 3; Kebbi – 3; Nasarawa – 3; Rivers – 2; Niger – 2; Taraba – 2; Enugu – 2; Zamfara – 2; Abuja – 1; Plateau – 1; Edo – 1; Kwara – 1; Imo – 1; Lagos – 1 and Bayelsa – 1. The states of Ebonyi, Anambra, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Osun, Ekiti and Oyo were not given any slot in the secret employment.
When the Public Relations Officer Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, Sam Adurogboye, was contacted for reaction on the development, said he wasn’t aware of the secret job recruitment.
