The Adamawa State Government has expressed concern over injustice in appointments in the Federal Civil Service.

Governor Jibrilla Bindow made this known, on Monday, while receiving members of the Adamawa State Investment and Inter-governmental Affairs Committee at Government House Yola.

He said that his administration would work hard with a view to correcting the injustice.

He noted that the state did not meet up its statutory quarter in the federal civil service, expressing hope that the APC-led federal government would, henceforth, ensure fairness in appointments.

“I will pursue this injustice meted out on our state, especially in the area of appointments in the Federal Civil Service. I will draw the attention of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) to correct the anomalies.

“I strongly believe that the APC-led federal government will be fair to Adamawa in subsequent appointments in the federal service,” Bindow said.
