The Presidency has described the report of secret recruitment of children and relatives of some prominent Nigerians as inaccurate.
Reports had surfaced online on how the CBN secretly hired 909 workers between June 2014 and February 2015, in violation of due process and federal character principles.
The alleged inaccuracy of the report was revealed by Laolu Akande, the senior special assistant to the vice president, in an interview with selected journalists in Abuja.
Laolu disclosed that the government was restructuring the recruitment process and indeed, the public service systems to make them more transparent.
He said: “These reports are inaccurate. What we heard is that government is working to ensure that we develop going forward in more transparent process.
“We are committed in going forward to ensure that some of these procedures are refined, fine-tuned and made to become more transparent.”
