HURIWA, in a statement by its national coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, urged the minister to reverse the appointments.
The association said it had written the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission to clarify the status of one of the new appointees in the procurement unit of the agency, Bulus Maiyaki, whom it alleged had been under investigation over his roles in a similar capacity in the National Health Insurance Scheme.
The statement said, “We are basically writing to protest the lopsidedness observable in this action and the breach of the ethical codes as clearly stated out by the appointing authority through the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation as emphasized by a memorandum of modus operandi authored by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.”
“There are little doubts from our findings that the staff are alleging that the postings were lopsided with the Minister of Power allegedly redeploying four favourites (three from the northeast and one from the northwest) to the Procurement Unit.”
