Career civil servants are now living in palpable fears, following the directives from the federal government that their certificates should be verified.
The federal government, yesterday, directed the conduct of the verification and revalidation of credentials and records of all staff in the Federal Civil Service.
Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mr. Danladi Kifasi gave the directive to officials managing the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) in a circular signed by the Permanent Secretary (Special Duties), Dr. Amina Shamaki.
He said the exercise encompasses verification and revalidation of crucial documents of all staff in the core Ministries, Departments and Agencies of the Federal Government (MDAs) and their outstations.
According to him, the exercise would commence at the headquarters of MDAs in the FCT from Monday, May 11 to May 22, 2015, and between May 18 and May 22, 2015 in North-east and North-central zones.
He said the exercise would make it possible for government to have a centralised data base system for the Nigerian Public Service with a single, accurate source of employee information that would aid government’s manpower planning and decision-making.
