President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday approved the immediate deployment of 22 top directors from the Budget office.
Authorities said the redeployment is part of a service-wide posting involving about 184 senior staff in various ministries, departments and agencies, in the federal civil service.
But the 22 officials were moved less than a month after the President fired the then Director-General of the Budget Office, Yahaya Gusau, and immediately replaced him with the incumbent, Tijjani Abdullahi.
Mr. Gusau was sacked February 15, following the widespread irregularities detected in the 2016 budget presently under consideration by the National Assembly.
His former subordinates have now been directed to exit with immediate effect, and to report to their new stations on Friday, March 11.
The postings, announced by the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation, affected four directors, six deputy directors and 12 assistant directors in the organisation.
The names of the affected officials were not immediately available.
PREMIUM TIMES gathered that 14 other senior officials have been posted from various MDAs, to replace the redeployed officials.
The redeployment of the 22 top officials of the Budget Office may not be unconnected with the directive by the President for all those identified to have been involved in the embarrassing budget padding controversy to be sanctioned.
The president had assured Nigerians recently that his administration would not spare any effort to ensure that aĺl officials involved in the budget padding controversy were not only identified, but also sanctioned.

Nigeria which way? Ordinary budget we can't be transparent and these are change agents that said last goernment was corrupt. The masses in this country is on a long thing I swear.

When are we going to start developing sef? When we are still promising to build road, provide elecrticity, provide water...yet there's nothing to show for it, even after all the padding they won't execute those projects, the padding is mainly for their pocket

In all, thank God for this govt sha, and the press at least we can question some things now...but I'm hughly disappointed, same people, same mindset, but different offices and different political parties

Nice one President Buhari.

Say no to corruption.

Has this budget been approved? The right up says it's still under consideration by the National Assembly. It's August 2016, will 2016 budget be approved and implemented in 2017?

budget padding is now corruption......a big one at that.

Padology goes beyond budget. Even contracts get padded forever. Example is east-west road. The handlers are always shifting the goal-post when new govt comes in.

Wicked people corrupt public officers should get more jail time than armed robbers

What the fuss about budget that has not be implemented self talk-less of still padding it! This niqqas keeping working for their pockets!!!! I don't Bleep with politicians

Way To Go, Why Must An Hausa Always Lead The Way Eg Dasuki, Nigeria I Turning To A Farm Where Thieves Tend To.

Lol When they were using Buhari to play, they didn't know abi... Serves them right

When politicians were being kidnapped, they made kidnapping a capital offence.

When their investment was targeted by Boko Haram, the hurriedly passed the Terrorism Act.

Now they rip us off through all manner of ways, look at our face and tell us that Padding is not a crime.

Until the term Corruption is properly defined in our penal codes and their punishment expressly provided, our politicians & civil servants will always take us for a ride.

I weep for this nation.

And that stüpid man called the speaker will say budget padding isn't corruption.

Pardon me...but YOUR FATHER!!!

Na Today, when he got back from the U.k, what we heard was dat heads will Roll....

My able president..

ANFARA

stealing is corruption. nice one PMB.
