Delta State House of Assembly has resolved to block all
applicants from neighbouring states, specifically Ibo-speaking states who
sneaked into Delta Employment Line by obtaining letters of recommendations and
certificates of origin from local government councils in the state.
The action of the House was
sequel to the alleged imbalance in the recruitment of Deltans into federal
ministries, departments, agencies with a view to addressing the abnormality.
This move is also coming at
the time when the Delta State Civil Service Commission is about recruiting not
less than 986 graduates of Delta origin into the workforce of the civil
service.
Last Friday, the House in a
motion of urgent public importance moved by the member representing Patani
constituency and deputy speaker of the House, Hon. Basil Ganagana and seconded
by the Majority Leader, Hon. Monday Igbuya passed the resolution on the subject
matter at its preliminary decided by the speaker, Hon. Victor Ochei.
The far-reaching resolution
however, called on President Goodluck Jonathan to direct the chairman of the
federal civil service commission, Deaconess Joan Ojo, to redress the gross
imbalance in recruiting Deltans into federal ministries, departments, and
agencies.
Subsequently, indications are
that in the past years, infiltrators who are non-indigenes from neighbouring
states specifically Igbo speaking states and basically due to similarity in
languages and names, do find their ways into the employment of the state civil
service, state primary education board, state universal basic education,
including other commissions after obtaining the state and local government
certificates of origin.
