The authorities of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) are allegedly selling job opportunities at the institution to prospective buyers at mind-boggling sums, according to PRNigeria.
Government contractors, it was also gathered, are the ones influencing the appointments apart from nominations from top public functionaries at federal and the state levels.
The job slots, according to sources, were being sold for as much as N1.5 million.
The sources told PRNigeria
that staff members in the office of the Vice Chancellor, Professor Aliyu Shugaba and the Registrar, Tijjani Bukar were deeply involved in the sale of the employment letters.
One of the sources explained that the appointment letters issued to some of “beneficiaries” mostly for non-academic jobs this month were backdated to 2018.
He said: “Some of the new recruits received their appointment letters on Friday, and by Sunday, they were enrolled into the IPPIS, while several other staff who have received their employment letter since 2020 at the university, are yet to be enrolled.”
