AS part of initiative to curb job racketeering, the Federal Government has launched an official web portal for use in recruitment into the Ministry of Interior and its paramilitary agencies. Minister of Interior, Mr Abba Moro, who made this known at an interactive session with newsmen in Abuja, at the weekend, gave the new e-recruitment portal as CDFIPB.gov.org. Moro had suspended all recruitment exercises into the Interior Ministry, following allegations of job racketeering rocking the agencies under it. He said the web portal was established by the ministry, in order to harmonise all recruitments into the paramilitary services under Ministry of Interior. The paramilitary agencies are the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the Federal Fire Service, the Nigerian Immigration Service and the Nigerian Prisons Service. He said henceforth, all recruitments into these agencies would be done through the web portal and advised Nigerians to disregard any other website established by syndicates for the purpose of defrauding job seekers. Moro said: “The e-recruitment portal is an innovation that has been introduced by the Ministry of Interior to ensure the harmonisation of all recruitments into the paramilitary services, in order to enthrone credibility and transparency in the process of recruitment. “Henceforth, all recruitments by the board will be conducted through this platform. Individuals are, therefore, advised to disregard any other medium or platform, as the Ministry of Interior will not be held accountable,” he said. Moro, who also spoke on the commemoration of the nation’s Democracy Day coming up on Wednesday, said democracy has come to stay in Nigeria. He said from 1999 till date represented the glorious days in the life of Nigeria as the country has witnessed uninterrupted civilian governance. He said this was attested by the success recorded in general elections without major issues that could have truncated the nation’s nascent democracy. According to him, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led government had taken deliberate steps and structures, as well as policies put in place to address the problem of neglect of the nation’s infrastructures. Describing the celebration of the Democracy Day as a milestone, the minister said the current administration was determined to strengthen its democratic culture as foundation for good governance. He said assured that the country would conduct a transparent, credible, fair and acceptable elections in 2015 and years ahead.
