Northern youths decry NCS’s promo policy, urge NASS, DSS to intervene

In view of the significance of NCS to nationwide security, we believe the DSS too requires to be part of the procedure that will promote respect for the rule of law in gratifying personnel of the service in general and on the viewpoint of first-among-equals.”

According to AYCF, its attention was drawn that the management of the NCS is set to pursue a policy of exemption in the promo of its personnel, based upon an illegitimate requirement.

The forum mentioned that it gathered that the strategy in the offing is to exclusively promote workers who signed up with the service in between 2009 and 2015.

It kept in mind that the action of the service is now asserted on the pedestrian argument that there has been no fresh recruitment in between 1992 and 1994, up till 2009 when the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan lifted the embargo.

AYCF discussed that based on the genuine background info offered to them, the space developed by the embargo is not the fault of the officers who provided all of their psychological and physical energy in the service of the nation for over 3 years.

The online forum said it discovers it completely unacceptable of any policy that would enable the promo of customizeds personnel through the backdoor.

The statement said it expects that the viewpoint of respect for the treatment, which President Muhammadu Buhari has actually been understood for should be allowed to dominate in the situation.

It lamented that the online forum is disturbed that the NCS could even ponder the selective promo, explaining it as a less than professional technique of promoting its personnel without option to the office of the Minister of Finance and National Planning or even the guidance of either the office of Head of Service of the Federation or that of Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
