The Federal Government must ensure equal distribution of slots to all states in the upcoming 7000 recruitments into the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), a member of the Houses of Representatives has said.
Rep Daniel Reyenieju (PDP, Delta) was reacting to last week’s approval by the Federal Government for the recruitments.
“If the Federal Government can distribute all the slots equally across the 36 states of the federation, Abuja inclusive, it will go a long way in reducing the agitation for restructuring, secession, cries of marginalization and militancy in the Niger Delta,” he said.
The lawmaker urged those responsible for the recruitment to ignore pressures from all quarters and do justice to the process as each state would get 189 slots if distributed equally.
“In the past, the allocation of jobs had been lopsided and this has further generated bad blood nationwide resulting in all the agitations in different parts of the country,” he said.
