Recruitment waivers for federal tertiary institutions still in force, FG clarifies

The Federal Government has clarified that the recruitment waiver process for federal tertiary institutions remains in force, despite reports suggesting President Bola Tinubu had removed the requirement. The Federal Ministry of Education issued a statement on Monday, explaining that the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF) approves establishment waivers for federal institutions, while recruitment waiver requests are handled by a committee chaired by the Honourable Minister of Education.

This clarification comes in response to reports that federal universities had been exempted from obtaining recruitment waivers, which were likely based on President Tinubu's speech at the maiden convocation ceremony of the Federal University of Health Sciences, Azare, Bauchi State.
