NADMO Coordinator justifies directive for employees to
re-apply
Ho, June 12, Ghanadot/GNA
- Mr Henry Ametefe, the Volta Regional Coordinator of the
National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), on Friday
justified a directive from the Regional Coordinating Council
requesting staff of NADMO to reapply for recruitment into
the Organization.
He said the directive was in accordance with the
restructuring of the organization to “put it in proper
position to perform the duties for which it was
established.”
A letter signed by the Regional Minister, Mr Joseph Z.
Amenowode, directed that administrative and finance staff,
secretaries and others in the
manpower/mobilization and operations departments including
drivers and zonal coordinators should reapply by June 15.
The applicants are also to attach photocopies of their
certificates and original letters of their appointment to
the applications.
Mr Ametefe said the directive had become necessary in view
of the calibre of personnel at the organization, many of
whom he said do not have any document on their files.
He alleged that “a good number of employees at the
organization either do not have any certificate, educational
background or are using other people’s certificate to work”.
Mr Ametefe also claimed that others were “very political”
and not ready to work as public servants while many more
were working at two or more establishments.
He said the directive was therefore in the right direction
to recruit qualified persons who could “read, write and go
on disaster prevention and management campaign.”
Mr Ametefe said genuine applications would be considered and
anyone who failed to re-apply has automatically dismissed
him or herself.
Some employees of the organization who were given letters to
re-apply have expressed their displeasure at the directive
saying it is politically motivated.
