Barely 24 hours after they were retired, five of the affected 17 federal permanent secretaries may face trial for alleged corruption.

One of those slated for trial has been interrogated by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission(ICPC).

Another, who is rated as brilliant, allegedly indulged in using public funds for exotic vehicles,  foreign trips and outrageous hotel bills.

It was also learnt that two of those involved were  linked to alleged bribery scandals.

The retired Perm Secs include Aliyu  Ismaila; Godknows Igali; Alhaji Baba Farouk; Abdulkadir Musa; Linus Awute; Fatima Bamidele; Obinna John Chukwu; Ezekiel Oyemomi; Anasthesia Nwaobia; Tunji Olaopa; George A. Ossi ; Mike John Nwabiala; Mohammed Bashar and Abdullahi Yola.

The fate of four others was unknown yesterday as they were either not given retirement letters or put on the list of those deployed.

The floating permanent secretaries are: Odusote Ibukun; Henry Akpan, Nkechi Ejele and Dr. James Obiagwu.

According to investigation, the Presidency was disturbed by security reports that many permanent secretaries embezzled public funds with impunity and were living above their means.

The intelligence survey also revealed massive acquisition of property by permanent secretaries and top directors in the civil service.

It was gathered that the security reports were confirmed by the disclosures in some books by Governor Nasir El-Rufai and a former Permanent Secretary, Dr. Goke Adegoroye.

Some of the allegations being probed include acquisition of choice properties; $4.5b tax holidays;   N1.9billion Ebola Fund(including N900million for isolation tents); $2billion arms deal; N29billion fictitious contracts; N275.5million budget for 2015 poll monitoring; the mismanagement of subsidy funds; questionable waivers and N2.4 billion fertiliser scam.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said: “About five of the retired permanent secretaries might face trial based on discreet investigation by some security agencies on how they mismanaged their ministries.

“Some of these permanent secretaries appeared before one or two anti-graft agencies for questioning. They are already aware of their pending trial.

“Some of these senior civil servants have been pleading for soft landing but the government may not listen to them.”

Asked to be specific on those affected, the source added: “The anti-graft agencies will soon take charge.”

A former Permanent Secretary in the FCT, Adegoroye said compared to the success recorded in public service reform between 2004 and 2007, “there is now [in 2014] more rot to be cleared within the civil service system” .

El-Rufai said: “This notion of let’s protect our own, no matter how bad they are, is the problem of the public service, where the federal service is now, is more troubling, because only those that are in finance, supply, and so on get to be permanent secretaries these days. The proportion of those in the lines where there is money that become Permanent Secretaries is a major indictment on the federal public service.”

On the fate of the floating perm secs, a source said: “I think there was a little error in the compilation of the list of those retired. While the Presidency put the figure at 17, a statement by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation said it was 16.

“When the list of deployment was released, these permanent secretaries were neither among those retired nor assigned.

“The Head of Service is making necessary clarifications from the Presidency.”

Guy, it doesn't work that way. Politics plays a greater role in party presidential candidature than performance. Northerners don't vote based on performance. They vote to protect their interest by having their men in critical positions.
If APC mistakenly presents Amaechi/Fashola in 2019, all PDP will need to do is to present a credible northerner as president, and PDP will take the central government back.
Are you too young to understand the basic rudiments of Nigerian politics?

...Amechi/Fashola Ticket(S/S and S/W)?how on earth will that work in Nigeria without someone from the North?

[quote author=dahaz post=39784413]President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday
afternoon had telephone conversations with
members of Nigeria’s U-17 team ahead of their
World Cup final on Sunday, TheCable can report.
The Golden Eaglets, coached by Emmanuel
Amuneke, will play against Mali in the final in
Chile, hoping to make it a record 5th win after
victories in 1985, 1993, 2007 and 2013.
Buhari spoke with each member of the team,
charging them to repeat the feat of 30 years
when Nigeria became the first African country to
win a FIFA tournament.
Buhari, who was military head of state at the
time, charged the team to “do it again” because
it will encourage Nigerians, particularly the
youths...so he knows that the Youths need to be encouraged, and he has been neglecting them?

The collapse of the Ikem bridge, which is at Ebonyi River in Isi-Uzo local government area of Enugu state, has caused untold hardship for commuters in communities within Enugu, Benue and Ebonyi states, with some people having to actually swim in order to get to their destinations.
The hanging bridge, built by the Nigeria army shortly after the civil​ war, finally caved in when a Dangote truck carrying 900 bags of cement tried to pass through...

Many communities in Enugu, Ebonyi, Benue have been cut off & Commuters traveling from Ehamufu to Enugu now terminate their journeys at different ends of the river and swim across to continue their journey.
