Nigeria has threatened to withdraw from regional body ECOWAS – which represents over 15 west african countries – because of its policy toward recruitment.
Nigeria’s representatives at the ECOWAS Parliament in Abuja, issued the threat when some principal officers in the regional bloc allegedly defied directives and embarked on the illegal process of recruiting their relatives and cronies, Innocent Odoh writes for Leadership.
The recruitment exercise was discovered to be manifestly skewed to serve the personal interest of other member states, to the exclusion of Nigeria, the Nigeria lawmakers said. Nigeria’s permanent representative to ECOWAS, Musa Nuhu, also wrote to the Speaker of the ECOWAS Parliament, Sidie Mohamed Tunis, on what he termed “the nepotistic employment scandal rocking ECOWAS”.
