Tertiary institutions across the country, including federal universities, have started fresh recruitment of academic and non-academic staff to replace retired and migrated workers.
The recruitment drive follows the reversal of the ban on employment in tertiary institutions earlier imposed by the administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement, the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, announced that the Federal Ministry of Education would oversee the process to ensure transparency and fairness, adding that institutions must obtain waivers before embarking on recruitment.
He directed all federal tertiary institutions with approved waivers to publicly advertise vacancies in at least one national daily newspaper, on their websites, and in relevant academic and professional journals.
“This directive aims to ensure a transparent, open, and competitive recruitment process that offers equal opportunity to all eligible Nigerians. 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,” the Minister said.
