Spokesperson for the government side of the transition team and Minister of Information, Fatimatu Abubakar has insisted that no last-minute clearance has been done by the government for recruitments.
Addressing the media on December 19, she noted, those actions claimed to be last minute by the incoming transition team, were done months back emphasizing that the government's mandate does not expire until January 7.
The National Transition Team, inaugurated on December 11 was tasked with overseeing the critical process of briefing the incoming government on state matters, providing access to essential government data, and coordinating the formal inauguration of the President-elect.
After the second meeting of the committee, there have been issues from the incoming government side of the transition team alleging some last-minute clearance for recruitments and payments being done by government.
