PRESIDENT BUHARI REMOVES 22 OFFICIALS IN BUDGET OFFICE RESHUFFLE

Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the redeployment of 22 senior officials in Nigeria’s budget office following a months-long fiasco that has delayed the passing of the country’s fiscal plan. The Nigerian president announced a record budget in December 2015, laying out ambitious plans to increase capital expenditure by 20 percent to 6.1 trillion naira ($30.6 billion). Copies of the budget were delivered in January to both houses of the Nigerian National Assembly for discussion, but deliberations were delayed after copies went missing from the Nigerian Senate. When the budget was eventually assessed, huge irregularities were discovered, such as 5 million naira ($25,000) allocated for the office of the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to spend on books and 795 million naira ($4 million) set aside to update the website of one unnamed ministry. The reshuffle comes just over a month after Buhari sacked Yahaya Gusau, the former director general of Nigeria’s budget office, without explanation. Nigerian authorities said the redeployment is part of a shake-up of almost 200 staff in various government ministries and the civil service. The 22 senior budget staff included four directors, six deputy directors and 12 assistant directors, who were told to report to their new postings on Friday. Fourteen officials have reportedly been assigned to replace the outgoing staff.

Ghost workers in Civil Service

The association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), has called on the Federal Government to investigate the allegation made by Finance Minister that 23,000 ghost workers are in the Civil Service. This was contained in a statement signed by Mr Alade Lawal, the Secretary General of the association and made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Lagos. The association made the call in reaction to the recent allegation made by Mrs Kemi Adeosun that 23,000 ghost workers were discovered in the pay roll of the Federal Civil Service. Alade stressed the need for the government to investigate the allegation in order not to jeopardize the jobs of several civil servants who use micro finance banks as points for payment of their salaries. "This is the reason why we are calling for due diligence on the matter to establish if truly thousands of ghost workers exist in the Federal Civil Service. "The Federal Government must set up a joint government-labour investigation panel to establish the authenticity of the claim. "We want to reiterate our stance that if in the final analysis, some workers are found culpable, the full weight of the law should be applied,” he said. The ASCSN scribe said that a few years ago, a similar alarm was raised about ghost workers in the Federal Civil Service, but after investigation it was discovered to be a hoax. He said that the fact that some civil servants were not captured in the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) and Bank Verification Number (BVN) could be a reason for the allegation.
