The Katsina State Government has warned civil servants in the state against what it tags “improper participation of public servants in the social media platforms.
”The Permanent Secretary in the office of the state Head of Service, Lawal Dutsim-ma, in a memo to all permanent secretaries and chief executive officers of government ministries and departments, said the state government was worried about the leakage of sensitive information on social media platforms.
The memo read, “The government has noted with concern the improper participation of public servants on various social media platforms, most especially Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter applications, among others, to the extent of disclosing sensitive official government information and correspondences. “In addition, the unethical participation of some serving public servants on the social media put to question their loyalty to the government, which is also a serious misconduct and it violates the Public Service Rule No: 030403. As such, public servants are to remain strictly guided on the way and manner to use the social media platforms, respecting the civil service’s pristine dictum of reticent characters.
The Chairman of the state chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Hussaini Hamisu, could not be reached for comments on the directive as of press time.
