A civil servant, Richard Oghenerhoro, is set to face disciplinary action for uncovering fake employment in the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing in Abuja and making his finding public.

The whistleblower was found guilty of misconduct, breach of oath of secrecy, unauthorised disclosure of official information and copying of official documents, contrary to the provisions of the Public Service Rules.

The rule recommended termination of appointment or forced retirement for the offences.

This is as four other officials in the ministry are set to be re-deployed over documentation and enrolment of the officers uncovered by Oghenerhoro into the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System platform.

All the recommendations were contained in the report of the investigative panel obtained by our correspondents.

The committee, headed by a senior official of the ministry, Rufus-Ebegba Immaculata, submitted its report to the office of the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola.

The PUNCH reports that the committee was constituted following the receipt of Oghenerhoro’s petition dated July 22, 2020.

I just called one of my Criminology lecturers today and lamented seriously about the methodology they used in teaching us. You emphasised detecting and reporting crime...and you didn't tell us how to manage the consequences and the "Judas look" our colleagues shower at us. Well, I benefitted immensely from his counsel.
