The
Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita, has countered
the Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau, who on Sunday blamed her and
the Federal Civil Service Commission for the reinstatement of the former
Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Mr. Abdulrasheed
Maina, to office.
Mrs. Oyo-Ita said through a statement by her
Assistant Director, Media Relations, Mohammed Manga, “The attention of the
Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation has been drawn to
several media reports that the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation has
approved the reinstatement into the Federal Civil Service of Alhaji
Abdulrasheed Abdullahi Maina and his subsequent posting to the Ministry of
Interior.
“The Head of the Civil Service of the
Federation wishes to inform the public that the reinstatement and posting of
Alhaji Abdulrasheed Abdullahi Maina never emanated from the Office of the Head
of the Civil Service of the Federation.
“Consequently, the purported reinstatement and
posting by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation is
totally erroneous and misleading.”
Mr. Dambazau had in a statement by his Press
Secretary, Ehisienmen Osaigbovo, denied responsibility for Mr. Maina’s recall
to service.
The statement explained that Mr. Maina “was
posted few days ago to the Ministry of Interior by the Office of the Head of
Service on an Acting capacity to fill a vacancy created following the
retirement of the Director heading the Human Resources Department in the
Ministry.”
The minister blamed Mr. Maina’s recall on the
Office of the Head of Service of the Federation and the Federal Civil Service
Commission.
He said the two bodies are responsible for
“issues relating to Discipline, Employment, Re-engagement, Posting, Promotion
and Retirements of Federal Civil Servants.”
“It is understood that Maina’s last posting was
with the Ministry of Interior, and that is probably why he was re-posted back
to the Ministry,” the statement added.
