Taraba govt begins fresh civil service recruitment

The Taraba State Government on Thursday announced the commencement of another set of employment into the civil service.

Mr. Philip Kundila, Chairman of the Taraba State Civil Service Commission, disclosed at a press briefing that a total of 1,805 applicants are targeted for employment during the exercise.

According to the chairman, hitherto ghost workers have also been absorbed into the civil service.

Kundila explained that the development followed Governor Agbu Kefas’s directive to employ more competent citizens into the state civil service after a long period of non-employment in the state.

He also stated that the newly absorbed workers, numbering 3,187, formed the first phase of the employment exercise under Governor Agbu Kefas.

The chairman urged applicants to be wary of fraudsters who may approach them under the guise of assistance.

He warned that any individual found engaging in such acts would be punished in accordance with the law, as the exercise is free of charge, while the sale of forms costs N3,000 only.

“Do not give money to anyone in the name of assisting you to be employed. The employment is free.

“All applicants must follow through the processes, and successful ones will be shortlisted for interview. Only qualified candidates will be employed to ensure excellent civil service in Taraba State,” the chairman warned.

The commission chairman and the Permanent Secretary, Comrade David Nyan, thanked Governor Agbu Kefas for the development and for approving funds for the renovation of the commission’s secretariat.
