The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has urged Nigerians to disregard series of false and malicious social media reports that it is recruiting against the Federal Character Principle.
The Management of the agency in a release made available to Emporium Reporters said on assumption of office on October 16, 2023, the CAC Registrar-General/CEO , Hussaini Ishaq Magaji, SAN, was confronted with a myriad of challenges, including a backlog of promotions and other welfare-related issues.
The RG in his wisdom and desire to improve the welfare and well-being of the hardworking CAC workforce, swiftly resolved and concluded the abandoned 2022 promotion examination upon approval from the supervisory authority as required by the laws of the land.
During the exercise, many qualified candidates were promoted to the executive and non-executive cadres in accordance with the provisions of the law.
Similarly, the Commission followed due process to regularise the status of contract staff inherited by the present management and injected fresh hands to meet up with the present administration’s target deliverables.
The measure is also in line with the Commission’s determination to ensure timely and prompt responses to customer complaints and inquiries in line with global best practices.
CAC management accordingly stated”Ordinarily, the Commission would not have responded to these unfounded allegations by some faceless individuals but for its desire to set the records straight.
“As a law-abiding government agency under the leadership of a senior member of the bar, the Commission would never embark on all these groundbreaking processes without due approvals and certifications from relevant agencies established to enforce compliance.
Since assumption of office, the present CAC Leadership has accorded top priority to staff welfare in accordance with its four-point agenda.
“Management has so far ensured the uninterrupted payment of all staff salaries and allowances, including loans and medical assistance, to deserving staff in accordance with the prescribed rules and procedures.
“The Hussaini Magaji-led CAC therefore remains resolute and committed to ensuring the progress and development of the Commission in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda”.
The CAC reiterated its commitment to ensuring prompt and efficient service delivery, irrespective of malicious attempts to distract its progress.
