Civil Servants With Thirty Years or More Years in Service Should be Sacked. Presidency

Civil servants who have served up to 30 years
may have to leave the service before the end of
2015, to pave way for fresh bloods into the
system as a way of ensuring maximal output
and restructuring of the civil service, it has
emerged.

A source in the office of the Head of Service of
the Federation disclosed on the condition of
anonymity that a memo to that effect has been
raised to be circulated in all FG agencies and
parastatals.
According to the source, the Presidency had
expressed concerns over the rate of corruption in
the civil service, and resolved that the best way
to stamp out or reduce it in the civil service
would be to overhaul the entire system.
The source added that the Head of Service was
also mandated to ensure that all civil servants
involved in any form of corruption be shown the
way out, “even if such person or persons have
not clocked 30 years in the civil service”.
