HoS denies extorting N23m from 92 civil servants vying for perm secs

THE Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation has denied allegations made by certain media platforms that it extorted N23 million from 92 applicants who were aspiring to become permanent secretaries.

Ahmed also explained that the money for the one-week training did not go into the account of the Head of Service but directed into the accounts of PSIN and the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria who are officially responsible for the training and retraining of Civil servants. The statement reads in part: “The attention of the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation has been drawn to a frivolous allegation labeled against the person of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, CFR, via an online news story published on 20th October, 2023 with the above misleading heading.

“It is imperative to state here that the course fee was not determined by the OHCSF nor is it paid into the Office‘s account. Training and retraining of Civil Servants is the core mandate of PSIN and the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria and as such, monies for such are paid directly into the aforementioned training institutions’ NUBAN account, linked to the Federal Government’s Treasury Single Account .
