ABUJA – The Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) on Friday said it had recruited 170 persons living with disability into the federal civil service this year.
The Chairman of the commission, Mrs Joan Ayo, disclosed this while receiving the new Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mr Danladi Kifasi, during a visit to the commission.
“They have been given appointments; some of them regrettably cannot fit into the system.
“But we try to ensure that anyone given a job has something to do otherwise it will be frustrating to the commission and the affected person.” [eap_ad_2] Ayo, however, pleaded with the head of service to attach names of those given presidential waiver for recruitment.
“When names are attached and the affected persons are aware, they must be given jobs,’’ she said.
“Please just give us the waiver and send the candidates; they will be interviewed and recruited.”
The chairman said there was also the need to review the rules and regulations in the service to be at par with rules governing labour.
Responding, Kifasi said there was need for collaboration between the commission and office of the head of service for the benefit of the workforce.
He said the civil service rules would soon be reviewed and that training would be given priority to boost capacity of the workers.
Kifasi also said that workers, who were exceptionally good, would be exposed more to leadership positions.(NAN)[eap_ad_3]
