The Chairman of the Anambra State Civil Service Commission, Mr. Anthony Ezenwaka, has refuted the widespread claims that a recruitment exercise is ongoing in the state’s Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.
In a press statement released in Awka, Mr. Ezenwaka described the rumours as unfounded and misleading, urging members of the public to disregard such information. He stressed that the Commission remains the only authorized body to handle recruitment matters within the state civil service.
According to him, “Any waiver from the Governor authorizing recruitments into any of the aforementioned cadres should be communicated to the Commission for necessary action and documentation.”
Mr. Ezenwaka emphasized that the Civil Service Commission should not be sidelined in any recruitment process, citing its statutory powers as provided by the 1999 Constitution, as amended. He further directed all heads of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies who have received waivers for recruitment to forward them to the Commission for appropriate processing.
