The John Kayode Fayemi (JKF) Centre, founded by Ekiti governor-elect, Dr Kayode Fayemi, says the on-going recruitment exercise by the Ayo Fayose administration is illegal.

The state government had said 2,000 workers made up of 600 Secondary School teachers, 400 Primary School teachers and 1,000 core civil servants would be employed.

But the Director of the Ado-Ekiti-based JFK Centre, Mr Biodun Omoleye, warned applicants against buying the employment forms.

He accused the outgoing governor of deliberately exploiting jobless youths by asking them to pay between N500 and N1,000 to obtain the employment forms.

Omoleye alleged that Fayose was only recruiting members of his ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in flagrant violation of extant rules.

“Fayose knows that such recruitment will be cancelled by the incoming administration over the illegality that informed the exercise.

“It is unlawful and wicked to play to the gallery by singling out only PDP members for recruitment

“This is a clear breach of the law that prohibits political consideration in civil service recruitment,’’ he said.

He urged applicants to disregard the employment exercise and wait till October when the new government would take over and make public his employment agenda.

The newly appointed Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has announced the removal of the 18-year age limit for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

He also indicated the possibility of a comprehensive review of the nation’s education policy.

However, Alausa made it clear that there would be no reversal of the Federal Government’s decision to invalidate over 22,700 degree certificates acquired by Nigerians from unrecognized universities in neighboring Togo and the Benin Republic.

Speaking at his inaugural ministerial press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Alausa emphasized that practical education is key to tackling Nigeria’s unemployment crisis. He stated that tertiary institutions must stop producing graduates without ensuring job opportunities for them.

The minister also revealed plans for the federal government to partner with private sector players to provide training opportunities for students and help them realize their full potential.

Additionally, Alausa announced that universities focused on agriculture would be empowered to implement commercial farming practices as part of efforts to address the country’s food security challenges.
