FG approves re-verification for 3,598 workers, threatens to sack defaulters | READ DETAILS
The Federal Civil Service Commission has directed for a reverification of 3,598 civil servants employed between 2013 and 2020 but missed the 2021 verification process.
The reverification exercise will run from August 18 till 28th across various ministries and government agencies, including the Federal Ministries of Agriculture, Defence, Education, Justice, Works, Information, Science and Technology, Aviation, Finance, Interior, and the State House.
A memo from the Commission read;
“The Federal Civil Service Commission has concluded arrangements to conduct a re-verification exercise for all those who failed to appear during the 2021 verification exercise for officers recruited by the Commission from 2013 to 2020.
“Consequently, all concerned officers are to check for their names on the Commission’s website (www.fedcivilservice.gov.ng), Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation’s website (www.ohcsf.gov.ng) and the notice boards of your ministry.
“In addition, all affected officers are to take note of the following important details: Each officer is to come along with the original and photocopy of the documents specified in the attached list; adhere strictly to the dates on the attached schedule; check the attached list sent to the Ministries for their names; officers who have been posted out of the Ministry, are on Secondment/Transfer out of the Ministry, or on Study leave, are to equally check the websites provided above; no further extension will be granted any officer who fails to turn up for the exercise; any officer who fails to turn up for the exercise will be adjudged to be holding fake letter of appointment and is, therefore, deliberately staying away to avoid detection; those who have been to the Commission recently for the exercise, need not appear.”
According to the commission, the highest numbers of affected officers are in the Ministries of Information (592), Education (506), and Labour (440).
Others include Works (134), Industry and Trade (196), Health (158), Environment (237), Interior (24), Defence (28), and the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (36), among others.
