The recruitment according to the Head of Civil Service comes on the heels of the recently concluded verification exercise for public servants in Akwa Ibom State that was ordered by Governor Umo Eno last year.
Essien also disclosed that the verification exercise which was opened to the 55,000 (fifty-five thousand public servants) on the payroll, upon completion ended up with less than 53,000 workers reporting for the exercise, thereby leading to the weeding out of 2,208 from the system for failing to turn up for the exercise, “creating avenue for vacancies in the public sector in Akwa Ibom State”.
“I want to also gladly report that arising from that verification exercise, on the heels of this Public Service Week Celebration, His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno has approved the recruitment of 3000 workers into the public service of Akwa Ibom – One thousand workers to the main service of Akwa Ibom State, One thousand for medical personnel and then one thousand to the teaching service.
