The Bauchi State government is set to begin the recruitment of 5,669 civil servants into the state workforce, forming part of the 10,000 employment slots earlier promised by the administration of Governor Bala Mohammed.
The governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, disclosed this at a meeting convened to ensure justice, fairness, and equity in the recruitment process across the state. He recalled his earlier pledge to recruit 10,000 civil servants to address manpower gaps within the Bauchi State civil service.
To deliver on the commitment, the governor met with stakeholders from all 20 Local Government Areas to review available vacancies and agree on measures for a transparent and credible exercise. According to him, the state has identified 214 job categories with a total of 5,669 vacancies spread across 18 Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
Governor Mohammed appealed to the four stakeholder groups present to “put aside personal interests” and avoid actions that could compromise the integrity of the process. He assured residents that the remaining vacancies would be filled next year, stating that “the financial analysis required to support the additional recruitment has already been completed” by his administration. The recruitment exercise is expected to strengthen service delivery across key public institutions.
