The Nigerian federal government has mandated all civil
servants in its payroll to undergo compulsory verification and
revalidation of their credentials and service records.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Danladi Kifasi, directed officials handling the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System to undertake the exercise.
The exercise, Mr. Kifasi said in a circular issued by the Permanent Secretary (Special Duties) in his office, Amina Shamaki that screening should cover the verification and revalidation of vital documents belonging to all workers in the core Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
The Head of Service said staff of all Federal Government agencies in outstations in all the states of the federation would be screened in collaboration with other IPPIS stakeholders.
The exercise, which is in its second phase, would begin in Abuja from Monday, May 11 to May 22, 2015, and May 18 to 22, 2015 in the North-East and North Central zones.
When the exercise is concluded, Mr. Kifasi said it would provide a centralised database for the Nigerian Public Service with a single, accurate source of employee information that would aid government’s manpower planning and decision making.
The Nigerian government’s decision to screen its workers came about two months after Premium Times exposed a case of certificate forgery involving a staff of the National Broadcasting Commission, Caroline Animan.
Ms. Animan, a confidential secretary at NBC, said to have been an employee of the Commission for over 20 years, presented a forged National Diploma certificate in Secretarial Studies purportedly issued by Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Ogun State (formerly Ogun State Polytechnic). But the institution eventually confirmed the “certificate” presented by Ms. Animan (formerly Carolene U. Umelue) as fake, following an official investigation and document verification by the NBC.
It is uncertain at this time whether the NBC has taken disciplinary action against Ms. Animan, although insiders in the Commission suggested she has been suspended from duties.
Meanwhile, the National Examinations Committee (NEC) of WAEC on Thursday, May 7, said that it had cancelled results of candidates involved in examination malpractices at the 2014 examinations.
