Investigations by SaharaReporters have revealed that the employment scandal currently rocking the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is worse than previous reports indicated as our correspondent has discovered that the bank gave well-remunerated jobs to another 121 relatives or wards of people who are politically connected with President Muhammadu Buhari. Our investigations also determined that the plum jobs the CBN handed to politically privileged people did not go through due process.
A high-ranking official at the CBN had stated that CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, decided to embark on the jamboree of hiring relatives of the political elite close to President Buhari as a strategy for keeping his job at the bank. In order to preserve his job, Mr. Emefiele apparently chose to ignore all hiring rules and procedures.
One of our sources disclosed that the bank abandoned its practice of using a professional human resources organization known as Nextzon to vet the credentials of its recent hires. According to the source, the CBN Governor unilaterally decided that the newly employed relatives of the rich and powerful would not go be scrutinized through the aptitude tests and interviews that are usually part and parcel of the recruitment process. In addition, Mr. Emefiele also waived the induction protocol required to familiarize new employees with operations at the CBN for some of the new hires. “Those we recruit newly usually go for training at the CBN Learning Centers in Lagos,” said one source, adding that merit was completely jettisoned by the CBN leadership in order to hand out plum jobs to children and relatives of rich and politically connected Nigerians.
