Sources say the meeting
was to clear the dust raised by the re-instatement of the former
Pension reforms boss, Abdulrasheed Maina.
Dambazau and the Head of Service, Mrs. Winifred E. Oyo-Ita were accused of employing Maina.
You
will recall that Dambazau, on Sunday, October 22, 2017, in a statement
signed by his press secretary, Ehisienmen Osaigbovo, said the ex-pension
boss was recalled through the office of the head of service.
The statement said: "The
ex-Chairman of the Presidential Task Force Team on Pension Reforms,
Abdulrasheed 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.
"For
the avoidance of doubt, issues relating to Discipline, Employment,
Re-engagement, Posting, Promotion and Retirements of Federal Civil
Servants are the responsibility of the Federal Civil Service Commission
and Office of the Head of Service of the Federation, of which no
Minister exercises such powers as erroneously expressed.
"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.
"It is therefore
improper for anybody to think that a Minister could exercise such powers
or influence the process of Discipline, Re-engagement, and Deployment
of any civil servant to his Ministry or any other Ministry for that
matter. Again Such responsibility is that of the Federal Civil Service
Commission and/or the Head of Civil Service."
Abdulrasheed Maina’s saga has made some Nigerians question the authenticity of President Buhari’s war against corruption.
