The Senate has demanded detailed written submissions from the Head of Service of the Federation, permanent secretaries and heads of federal ministries and agencies on the levels of their involvement i
n the job racketeering scandal going on under their watch.
The letter alleged that the non-documentation and deployment of the affected successful candidates had led to fraud and gross mismanagement of appropriated funds annually. “This action was due to the fact that some syndicates who were alleged to be acting for some key officers of the MDAs demand between N500,000 to N1,500,000 before candidates engaged by Federal Civil Service Commission and deployed to the ministries have to pay before proper documentation can be completed for them to start work.
The Senate therefore asked the HoS and the accounting officers of the various MDAs to explain why the personnel cost budget approved by the National Assembly yearly in the 2016 to 2019 Appropriation Act of the Federation had been properly managed.
