70,000 Ghost Workers: MDA directors face ICPC

Some assistant directors and their collaborators in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) have been linked to employment racketeering in the federal civil service.    

They are to be prosecuted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other-Related Offences Commission (ICPC), a source stated.

Last week, the Director-General, Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR), Dansuki Arabi, disclosed that no less than 70, 000 workers with questionable employment papers were detected and weeded out of the service.

They were said to have been discovered through the ongoing Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

Our source in the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) said that the ongoing IPPIS verification will reveal more of such workers.

The source said: “There is a lot of rot in the Federal Civil Service, especially at the top levels. Before now, the MDAs had the autonomy to recruit. Sadly, some abused this process. Some assistant directors forge and issue fake employment letters to desperate job seekers.

“The number of fake employment letters is overwhelming with some MDAs being over staffed. For some time now, we have not posted anyone to the Ministry of Environment. But they keep calling us that the number of workers posted to their ministry is overwhelming.

“After investigating, we could not verify most employment and postings. Some people in the service are experts in forging signatures of directors and issuing fake employment and promotion letters.
