The Federal Government has reinstated 4,081 out of the initially delisted 17,000 civil servants from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, re-enrolling them into the government’s payroll.
According to The PUNCH, this update, disclosed in Abuja, coincides with ongoing concerns about unpaid salaries affecting specific civil servants across various ministries, departments, and agencies of the Federal Government.
According to The PUNCH, the Federal Government, under the guidance of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, initiated the verification process for 17,000 civil servants recently removed from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System in October.
These employees were delisted due to non-compliance with verification procedures spanning over five years.
The list obtained by the publication revealed that cleared civil servants were from various government departments, including the State House, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Ministry of Budget and National Planning, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defence, Public Service Commission, Office of the Auditor General of the Federation, and Office of the Accountant General of the Federation.
Others hailed from ministries such as Petroleum Resources, Labour and Employment, Youths, Women Affairs, Trade and Investment, Police Affairs, Niger Delta Affairs, Justice, Mines and Steel Development, Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Health, Finance, Environment, Agriculture and Rural Development, Aviation, Education, Federal Civil Service Commission, and Budget Office of the Federation.
However, as of the report’s filing, the National President of ASSCN, Tommy Etim, hadn’t responded to inquiries made by the correspondent.
