JUST IN: Allegations of Certificate Fraud Spark Outrage Over Lost Job Slots in Nasarawa











Fresh concerns have emerged in Nasarawa State over alleged misuse of indigene certificates by job seekers from other states, with residents warning that the trend is depriving genuine indigenes of employment opportunities.

A Nasarawa applicant, sharing his experience from a Nigeria Air Force DSS screening in Kaduna, said more than half of the candidates shortlisted under Nasarawa State were actually from other parts of the country. He recalled speaking with a finalist who confessed he was from Kano but used a Keffi LGA indigene form even though he had never been to Keffi. Another candidate, reportedly from Kaduna, allegedly used documents claiming origin from Wamba despite never visiting the area.

He contrasted this with Sokoto State, which he said deployed a full verification team to the screening venue. According to him, Sokoto officials scrutinised every candidate's documents and immediately confiscated papers from anyone found impersonating a native of the state.

The incident has intensified frustration among Nasarawa youths, many of whom believe weak verification systems allow outsiders to claim job quotas meant for them.

Residents are now urging the state government to adopt stronger verification procedures, warning that failure to do so will continue to leave Nasarawa youths at a disadvantage in competitive recruitment exercises.

“This is why people say there are no jobs,” the applicant lamented. “Others take our slots, and nobody checks. Our leaders need to act.”

It is also in the interest of peace and stability when there is political equilibrium in a state because the sense of marginalisation that often gives rise to social unrest and unwanted internal crises will be crushed. Therefore, the Idoma people must never be allowed to become tools in the hands of those leaders described in the words of Hon. Ottah (2026) as an "omnishambolic fiasco squad." In an effort to convince the people, when they have nothing to use as a campaign strategy, they coined an imaginary enemy to stand in the gap of their underperformance, which is conspicuously glaring to the people. This pattern is not new to the Idoma people, but what is new is the model with which it has been gleefully packaged for public consumption. Frankly admitted, the Idoma can aspire to the highes...
