Section 4: Staff generally.

(1) Subject to this Act, the Corporation may appoint such person as members of staff of the Corporation as it considers necessary and may approve conditions of service, including provisions for the payment of pensions.
(2) If the Corporation thinks it expedient that any vacancy in the staff of the Corporation should be filled by a person holding office in any of the public services in the Federation, it shall inform the appropriate Civil Service Commission to that effect and thereafter the Corporation may cause such vacancy to be filled by way of secondment or transfer.
(3) Where a member of any of the civil services in the Federation is seconded under subsection (2) of this section, he shall be notified of the terms and conditions of the secondment; and the secondment shall be without prejudice to any pension rights which, but for the secondment, would still accrue to him.
(4) A person seconded under subsection (2) of this section may elect to be transferred to the staff of the Corporation, in which case any previous service in the public service concerned shall count as service for the purposes of pensions subsequently payable by the Corporation.
