Nigeria - President Muhammadu Buhari’s has embarked on an anti-corruption war with a stern warning to ministers not to dabble into approving payments for contractors, VANGUARD reports.
He spoke through the Head of Service of Civil Service of the Federation, Mr Danladi Kifasi, at a media briefing in Abuja.
The government came boldly yesterday with a clear policy directive asking only the heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs not to abdicate their core functions to ministers who are political appointees but to do their jobs in strict compliance with the policy guidelines of the administration.
This follows a clash between permanent secretaries of major Federal Government ministries and former ministers in the Jonathan government over the payment of contractors.
Saturday Vanguard learnt that most permanent secretaries and directors of accounts in the ministries and MDAs fell out with many of the immediate past ministers following their refusal to pay contractors favoured by them for jobs approved and awarded through the backdoor by the ministers in their last effort to make quick money out of the system.
