The Bauchi State government is set to commence the recruitment of 5,669 civil servants into the state workforce, as part of the 10,000 employment slots earlier promised by Bala Mohammed administration.
The Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed disclosed this at a meeting aimed at ensuring justice, fairness, and equity in the recruitment process across the state.
Governor Bala Mohammed had earlier pledged to recruit 10,000 civil servants to address existing manpower gaps in the state civil service.
This commitment prompted the Governor to convene a meeting with stakeholders from all 20 Local Government Areas to review available vacancies and jointly agree on measures that will ensure a transparent and credible recruitment exercise.

He appealed to the four stakeholder groups present to put aside personal interests and avoid any actions that could compromise the integrity of the recruitment process.
The Governor also assured residents that the remaining vacancies will be filled next year, noting that the financial analysis required to support the additional recruitment has already been completed by his administration.
