The Senate yesterday endorsed the sack of 3,000 National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) workers.

The upper chamber also directed NIMC to reinstate 96 disengaged officials of the commission.

This directive followed the consideration and adoption of the report of the t Committee that considered the petition by 4,029 disengaged of staff.

The lawmakers agreed that each disengaged person be paid one year salary as take-home severance allowance using the same formula that produced the earlier approved package. The package will now stand at N621,953.00 as the lowest and N1,441,735.60 as the highest.

The committee noted that some of the dismissed workers falsified their records. Others were dismissed for being absent from work for months.

It said that those that were not satisfied with their dismissal could seek redress in a law court as most of the allegations centered on criminality.

The NIMC management, according to the committee, said that the number of disengaged officials was 3,099 in the first instance and not 4,099 as stated by the petitioners. The staff strength currently is 1,891.

The committee, according to the management of the commission said the disengagement was done across the 36 states and Abuja and no state was specially targeted in the exercise.

The committee said it found out that the Governing Board of NIMC approved HND and B.Sc as the new minimum entry level qualifications for the Commission.

It said that “the economic and security situation in the country make the disengagement of over 3,000 employees from one establishment inadvisable, hence the secretariat of the Committee undertook a rigorous certificate verification and screening where the certificate of employees were examined.”

It said that while 218 persons listed their names as having additional qualifications, 96 were found to have actually acquired the new minimum qualifications of HND and B.Sc as at the end of last year.

They 'forged' thier ways in, preventing gunuine ppl from gettn jobs and now they are booted out at a time when ogas on top wd hijack the jobs for their wards. Oh my world! But why wont ppl forge when paper qualification is what we crave for!

One year's pay is good enough compensation. No grounds for complaint.

Meanwhile there are thousands of such unproductive workers all over Nigeria's civil service. Such people should be weeded out ASAP.

I know say dey go start to dey adverstise vacancy now.

I dey wait them jawe

Recall 96 and 3000 shd b sack ? Pls am confused

Sweet!!






Senate should also endorse the sacking of 95% of senators, reps and assembly men.. Those niggas barely come to work, have several false documents and have no real job experience..

The hard truth is, there are a lot of unproductive and unserious personnel in civil service, I've seen a lot of them, they go 2 work once a week or 2wice a month, claiming "na gov work no be my papa work" so I the sack, any1 who isn't serious wt gov work should be booted out, this is wht I call corruption 2, u dnt work yet u expect 2 be paid, let them employ the more serious once abeg. *rolling eyes*

More sack,more jobless pple,,more criminals..hmmm ijoba(goverment)

NIMC has already started massive recruitment across the country. And from what i heard, they are very transparent. Kudos to the management for removing incompetence from their commission.

I know a woman who lives in Lagos and works in a state secretariat in Ogun and doesn't go to work yet she receives salary. She only goes whenever they want to mark . And these same set of people will shout that the government is not doing anything.

I foresee revolution in the nearest future. Infact, thats the only way out.

... falsification of records and absenteeism are serious offenses in federal jobs..

Na Minus 1 plus 1 dis pple wan do.
