Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Character Commission and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Senator Danjuma La’ah made the disclosure on Monday while speaking with newsmen.
Senator La’ah said the Federal Character Commission has been fingered in the unwholesome deal in which a victim allegedly paid N3 million to secure employment.
He said his Committee was determined to bring the culprits to face prosecution.
He said:” Well, thank you for bringing the issue of job racketeering at the Federal Character Commission.
“The Senate Committee on Federal Character Commission has been investigating and we are doing everything possible to unravel those behind sales of jobs there.
“I got reports from different people on sales of jobs going on at the Federal Character Commission (FCC).
“Appointment into government offices for sales at the Federal Character Commission is real.
“Someone has forwarded to me a text which is on my phone, that he purchased Nigeria Ports Authority job from the Federal Character Commission at N3 million.
“This is shocking. It makes my heart bleeds, I am so sad and I am going to take drastic action on this case. If the Committee finds out this is what they have been doing, we are not going to take it lightly with them.
“No stone shall be left unturned in telling the whole country that the FCC is involved in job racketeering.
“There is a high unemployment rate in Nigeria. People finish school and there is no job anywhere only to be busy selling jobs. Does it make sense? It’s an embarrassment to the society; it’s an embarrassment to the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The President had earlier made a statement that he wants to make everybody to enjoy his administration, whatever it will take and hundreds of thousands of undergraduates will be given appointment.
“If the investigation we are doing confirms it to be true, we are not going to take it lightly. We are gradually closing in on them.
“What I am still proving is an allegation. The Committee would do a detailed job and if it turns out to be true, we will take the appropriate sanction.”
The book also examines Nigeria's legal ecosystem, focusing on the LPELR and NBA AI Guidelines. As a bonus, every purchase comes with a FREE eBook titled: How to Use the AI Features in LegalPedia and LawPavilion.
Ohio Books Ltd praises the publication, stating:
"....this is the only Nigerian book I know of on the topic."
