The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack, on Monday, said the probe instituted by the Federal Government to identify civil servants who are still receiving salaries after relocating abroad is still ongoing.

While denying that the process had been swept under the carpet, the Head of Service emphasised that they had sustained the momentum to ensure that those who left the country in search of greener pastures abroad are no longer benefiting from the system.

She said since the commencement of the probe as ordered by President Bola Tinubu, some of the japa workers had rushed to resign while some returned to the country to report for work.

Walson-Jack disclosed this at a programme held in Abuja to celebrate her 100 days in office.

The development comes five months after President Tinubu ordered that all civil servants who are drawing salaries from the government after relocating abroad should be made to refund the money.

Tinubu also directed that the culprits’ supervisors and department heads be punished for aiding and abetting the fraud while they were in charge.

The President gave the directive at an award night organised by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation to commemorate the 2024 Civil Service Week

On Monday, Walson-Jack insisted that the probe was ongoing.

She said, “You are asking about civil servants who may have japa (relocated abroad). We know that the issue came up, and there were even some verifications done. Since then, some of them quickly came back while some honourably retired.

“So, right now, just to sustain the momentum, we are still scrutinising using the IPPIS payroll to know who is here and who is out. And I think that will be a continuous process to ensure that people are not eating their cake and having them by going outside the country and still receiving their salaries.

“So I dare say some progress has been made in this regard and we will keep on watching out to ensure that it is completely dealt with.”

Walson-Jack appreciated her staff for the tremendous she had so far enjoyed and also applauded all the ‘Super Permanent Secretary’ for making her first 100 days in office seamless.

“The first 100 days in office is a significant milestone. It offers an opportunity to reflect on the achievements recorded, perform a thorough audit of progress, and identify the goals ahead,” she stated.

While praising Tinubu for finding her befitting for such an exalted position, the former Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Education also assured that her office was working hard with the Federal Civil Service Commission to curb the growing menace of job racketeering in the system.

“I know that it is the Federal Civil Service Commission that has the responsibility to recruit. But, of course, we are right there to that responsibility. So, in of job racketeering, whatever we can do will be done to stop it because where you find someone obtained a job through fraudulent means and, of course, the person is already in the service, the civil service will have to work with the commission to ensure that the person is sanctioned,” she noted.

FG shouldn't pardon them after the resignation
..
Write to their respective embassies to demand their punishment or extradition

Wickedness must be met with appropriate wickedness

Modified..

The Nigerian Collaborators should also be jailed
..coz the scam won't be possible without an internal collaborator

The annoying part is these set of hypocrites will be lamenting about how spoiled Nigeria is abroad despite being the sole beneficiary

That was how one guy took specta loan from sterling bank and japa..

After many writing to him and he refused to pay, they wrote the Canadian embassy and the idiot was deported back to Nigeria and place on visa ban

We need communist system of government in punishing corrupt individuals. I wish they should try such in North Korea

We have plenty devils among us! How will you japa and still be receiving salaries for the work you didn't do?

That's where we lack monitoring through and through!

We should invest heavily in monitoring everything in Nigeria! We need monitoring spirits!

The FTC ehnnnnn, I understand his plight, now lets extend the love letters to the idiots we have in our backyard too.

Nigerians with criminal mind's, the same people who always complain of bad leader. They are already in a western country working and receiving salary and still collecting salary from FG monthly without doing nothing.... hàaaaaaaaaaaa !!!

That's theft. My former oga was trying to do it. Three months. I just wrote a strong warning letter to his subordinate to report it or I'd do it myself. He now resigned

And to even imagine that some of the bastards will be speaking I'll of the country while giving utopian testimonies of how their lives have changed without mentioning that they remain part of the rot.

Some of them are on study leave with pay. They see a loop hole in the system

Some people that Japa 2-3 years ago are still receiving November salaries as we speak.

The system is porous and their HODs are complict.

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.
