Controversies and allegations of fraud are currently rocking the on-going teachers’ recruitment exercise in Enugu State.
The allegations, ranging from poor conduct of the exercise to demand for a bribe, are causing ripples in the State.
The Enugu State Government had recently commenced plans to recruit 2000 teachers for the primary schools across the State.
The recruitment exercise, which held simultaneously at the 17 local government areas of Enugu State, as well as the College of Immaculate Conception, CIC, Enugu, witnessed a turn-out of thousands of applicants.
Whereas those whose names were shortlisted had their examination at the designated council areas, the CIC played host to thousands of applicants who had their names missing in the list.
However, signs that all was not well with the exercise started showing early in the morning as the applicants at the CIC waited from 7 am till 4 pm before the process for the test commenced.
According to one of the applicants, “the failure started from step one. You can imagine a situation where the names of the shortlisted candidates were pasted just on the eve preceding the examination. So, all the applicants staying out of Enugu were automatically shut out of the system.
“Secondly, on the day of the examination, there was no sign of preparation for the exercise at all. We reported at the CIC by 7 am but at the end of the day, we managed to start the test by 5:30 p.m.
