FG Directs Tertiary Institutions to Publicly Advertise Available Vacancies

All federal tertiary institutions that have been granted waivers to recruit staff have been ordered by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, to publicly advertise the available vacancies.

The directive was disclosed in a statement issued to journalists in Abuja on Thursday by the Ministry’s Director of Press, Folasade Boriowo.

Dr. Alausa urged the institutions to publish the vacancies in at least one national daily newspaper, on their official websites, and in relevant academic and professional journals.

According to him, this directive aims to ensure a transparent, open, and competitive recruitment process that offers equal opportunity to all eligible Nigerians.

“This follows the waivers granted to federal tertiary institutions based on submissions made by these institutions concerning their manpower requirements.

“It is in line with the ministry’s commitment to enhancing the capacity of our higher education institutions,” he said.

He reminded all federal tertiary institutions to submit their recruitment needs to the ministry for review by the Committee on Waiver and Recruitment.

“The ministry has put in place adequate mechanisms to ensure compliance and will not hesitate to apply sanctions against any institution that fails to adhere to this directive.

“The Federal Ministry of Education remains firmly dedicated to promoting integrity and fairness in all matters related to the Nigerian higher education system,” he said.
