President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Abuja warned civil
servants to shun corrupt practices or be ready to leave the civil service.
The permanent secretary in the office of the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Muhammed Bukar, said President
Buhari gave the warning when he was briefed on the activities of the General
Services Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
Mr. Bukar said the president underscored the
importance of strict adherence to the rules and laws guiding public service.
“We have received a mandate to work harder. He
has given us a very strong warning that change has come and every public
servant has to sit up. We will give our best to support the government.
“We told him what we have been
doing in support of the government’s policies and the president promised to
give us the support and the political will to do our job better.’’
Mr. Bukar, who led five other permanent
secretaries in the SGF Office during the meeting, said they also briefed the
president on the Centenary Project.
Mr. Bukar disclosed that a former Head of
State, Abdulsalami Abubakar, who is the Chairman, Centenary Limited Board,
would brief Mr. Buhari on the project on Friday.
According to him, “no kobo of Federal
Government went into the building of Centenary City’’.
