The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HOCSF), Alhaji Bukar Aji, has said that 1,050 civil servants, who were in the service illegally, would be retired in the next three weeks.
He spoke in Abuja at the ongoing 60th anniversary of the Nigeria Public Service Commission.
Aji said the screening done by Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) discovered that the civil servants were supposed to have retired from the service.
“Through the IPPIS, we screened those who were supposed to have retired long time ago. They will leave the service within the next two to three weeks,” he said.
The HOCSF said the exercise would create opportunity for those in legitimate service to be promoted.
Aji said there had been synergy, cooperation and collaboration between the HOCSF and the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC).
