The recent recruitment of 7,325 teachers in Katsina state was reportedly marred by the illegal smuggling of 152 candidates who did not write the assessment test.
The Commissioner for Women Affairs in the state, Zainab Musa Musawa, disclosed this to journalists after an executive council meeting chaired by Governor Umar Dikko Radda yesterday, Naija News understands.
In response to these irregularities, the government has formed a special committee to review the entire process.
The committee will address issues such as the omission of certain candidates’ names, scoring discrepancies, and other complaints that have arisen from the recruitment exercise.
By doing so, the government aims to rectify the situation by offering positions to the 22 qualified candidates whose names were omitted and removing the 11 unqualified candidates who were mistakenly recruited.
