Gov. Sule directs refund of TSC recruitment form payments

Gov. Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa, has directed the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to refund N2,000 to applicants, who had paid for recruitment application forms in the state.

The directive is contained in a statement by Mr Ibrahim Addra, Chief Press Secretary to the governor on Thursday in Lafia.

Addra said the governor had not approved an amount for sale of forms, but had approved the recruitment of qualified teachers.

”The advertisements from TSC that applicants should pay N2,000 for purchase of recruitment forms, without proper approval from the governor, has already caused serious confusion, hence the need for this directive.

“By this directive therefore, the commission should immediately refund money to those who have already paid for the forms.

“We urge applicants who have paid, to go for the refund, where they paid and to remain calm, while awaiting further information regarding the recruitment,” he said.

According to him, the governor has put in place, a robust process with due checks and balances to ensure all inclusive and transparent process of engaging the right calibre of teachers.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the commission on Aug. 10, announced sales of recruitment forms, from Aug. 11 to 30. (NAN).
