NDA Admission: Group Warns Against Turning Recruitment Into Religious Contest
A group has cautioned against allowing religious considerations to influence government appointments, recruitment, admissions, and other public processes in Nigeria. The group, in a statement, expressed concern that such an approach could put pressure on government institutions to consider religious identity, instead of focusing on competence, integrity, and national loyalty.
The statement, which was made available to Premium Times Nigeria, stated, "The introduction of religious considerations into government appointments, recruitment, admissions, and other public processes could lead to a situation where competence, integrity, and national loyalty are compromised."
The group emphasized that Nigeria is a diverse nation with a rich tapestry of religious beliefs, but urged citizens to prioritize the values that unite the country over those that divide it.
The statement concluded by quoting the group's spokesperson, who said, "We must remember that Nigeria is a diverse nation, and we must work together to ensure that our institutions remain impartial and focused on the needs of all citizens, regardless of their religious beliefs."
