Celebrating symbolic nonsense that adds no value to the economy or improve naira value or repair bad roads or food prices in market is equal to rubbish. Seeking and snapping pictures with world leaders should be the prerogative of entertainers and online influencers and not the job of a president whose country is in total disarray and people dying from hunger as a result of his bolekaja economic policies with his incompetent, unqualified quack team

Percentage you asked? But you want Igbos to make your people who are not up to 2% in Igbo land LG chairmen and commissioners.

The same you deny Igbos who make a large percentage of residents in lagos the opportunity to cast their votes, let alone vying for political appointments.

Una be correct definition of hypocrisy.

How many whites did Tinubu appoint ministers or other portfolios

mbaise1000:
This observation and post can only come from a nigerian where people are not appointed on merit but on tribal bases,
America is not nigeria, it's competence FIRST even if trump wants to appoint his friends and family, I believe that every American will prefer someone who will do the work and get them what they want than to see a person bearing their tribal name even as they suffer because of the incompetence of the said person, it's unfortunate that a people will vote against their personal interest just to have a person from a certain part of their country

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack, on Monday, said the probe instituted by the Federal Government to identify civil servants who are still receiving salaries after relocating abroad is still ongoing.

While denying that the process had been swept under the carpet, the Head of Service emphasised that they had sustained the momentum to ensure that those who left the country in search of greener pastures abroad are no longer benefiting from the system.

She said since the commencement of the probe as ordered by President Bola Tinubu, some of the japa workers had rushed to resign while some returned to the country to report for work.

Walson-Jack disclosed this at a programme held in Abuja to celebrate her 100 days in office.

The development comes five months after President Tinubu ordered that all civil servants who are drawing salaries from the government after relocating abroad should be made to refund the money.

Tinubu also directed that the culprits’ supervisors and department heads be punished for aiding and abetting the fraud while they were in charge.

The President gave the directive at an award night organised by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation to commemorate the 2024 Civil Service Week

On Monday, Walson-Jack insisted that the probe was ongoing.

She said, “You are asking about civil servants who may have japa (relocated abroad). We know that the issue came up, and there were even some verifications done. Since then, some of them quickly came back while some honourably retired.

“So, right now, just to sustain the momentum, we are still scrutinising using the IPPIS payroll to know who is here and who is out. And I think that will be a continuous process to ensure that people are not eating their cake and having them by going outside the country and still receiving their salaries.

“So I dare say some progress has been made in this regard and we will keep on watching out to ensure that it is completely dealt with.”

Walson-Jack appreciated her staff for the tremendous support she had so far enjoyed and also applauded all the ‘Super Permanent Secretary’ for making her first 100 days in office seamless.

“The first 100 days in office is a significant milestone. It offers an opportunity to reflect on the achievements recorded, perform a thorough audit of progress, and identify the goals ahead,” she stated.

While praising Tinubu for finding her befitting for such an exalted position, the former Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Education also assured that her office was working hard with the Federal Civil Service Commission to curb the growing menace of job racketeering in the system.

“I know that it is the Federal Civil Service Commission that has the responsibility to recruit. But, of course, we are right there to support that responsibility. So, in terms of job racketeering, whatever we can do will be done to stop it because where you find someone obtained a job through fraudulent means and, of course, the person is already in the service, the civil service will have to work with the commission to ensure that the person is sanctioned,” she noted.
