The Federal Government says it has detected 1,618 civil servants with fake employment letters in its efforts to block leakages and incessant infiltration of ghost workers in the civil service.
This was disclosed by the Head of Service of the Federation, Folashade Yemi-Esan, while speaking during a media parley ahead of the 2023 civil service week.
She said the discovery was made after the introduction of control mechanisms set up by the Service to address loopholes identified in the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
According to the Head of Service, 69,854 officers have been captured in the core Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) across the six geopolitical zones of the country and the Federal Capital Territory.
