Ari was also accused of awarding fraudulent contracts to family members without recourse to procedure and due process as well as illegally promoting female workers without regard for public service rules.
Some workers in the Federal Government’s Industrial Training Fund have accused the Director-General of the agency, Joseph Ari, of nepotism and marginalisation.Speaking to SaharaReporters, a staff alleged that the DG has been running the agency like a personal estate.
“We keep wondering why the President gave him a second term. He has turned the agency to his personal estate. He prefers to promote female workers for hidden reasons without regard for public service rules. Another worker added, “Sequel to complaints about this irregularity, the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment investigated the matter. It was established that he was receiving pension from the state’s civil service.
“But to our surprise, this same man was announced as the new Director General in 2016 and re-appointed in 2020 in total disregard of civil service rules.”
