Buhari Swings Into Action, Orders Maina’s Immediate Sack

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the immediate sack of Mr. Abdulrasheed Maina from the Federal Civil Service.

This comes after reports of Maina’s re-engagement into the Federal Civil Service sparked a lot of controversy.

In a statement on Monday, the president also directed the Head of Service, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita, to submit a full report of the circumstances of Mr. Maina’s recall and posting to the Interior Ministry.

According to the statement, the report is to be submitted to the office of the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, before the close of work today (Monday).

Mr. Maina is on the wanted list of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged N2 billion pension fraud.

He was the Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team under the immediate past administration.
