The Adamawa State Government has announced plans to issue offer letters electronically via email to successful candidates of the recent civil service recruitment, following irregularities recorded during the manual issuance of appointment letters.
The Secretary to the Adamawa State Government (SSG), Barrister Awwal Tukur, disclosed this on Tuesday while briefing journalists at the Government House in Yola. He said all candidates listed on the original recruitment list released by the Adamawa State Civil Service Commission will receive their appointment letters through their registered email addresses.
Barrister Tukur expressed concern over challenges encountered in the recruitment exercise, including the omission of some qualified candidates and the duplication of names. According to him, the shift to electronic issuance was necessary to correct these issues and improve transparency. “The recruitment exercise was designed to be fully electronic and will remain so. Any form of manual interference will no longer be accepted,” he said.
The SSG announced that all appointment letters previously collected manually have been cancelled and rendered invalid. He advised affected candidates to check their email accounts for their authentic appointment letters and proceed with documentation. “Candidates should rely only on the letters sent to their registered email addresses,” he added.
He reaffirmed the commitment of the Fintiri-led administration to transparency, fairness, and accountability in public service recruitment.
Barrister Tukur was flanked during the briefing by the Chief of Staff, Government House Yola, Dr. Edgar Amos Sunday; the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on ICT and E-Governance, Dr. Hammajam Ahmed; and members of the management team of the Adamawa State Civil Service Commission. He urged candidates to remain calm and begin checking their email accounts from Wednesday evening.
