The Federal Government through the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation has commenced moves to ensure that official government documents classified as sensitive are not leaked to the public.
The Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Dr Folashade Yemi-Esan, in a memo uploaded on the website of the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation which was dated February 19, 2024, said the leakages of such documents have become embarrassing to the government and as such become unacceptable.
In the memo, permanent secretaries were advised to strongly warn all staff against leaking and circulating official information and documents, adding that any officer caught engaging in such acts will be severely dealt with in line with the relevant provisions of the Public Service Rules and other extant circulars.
It would be recalled that a memo from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume revealed plans to allocate the sum of five hundred naira as allowances to members of the tripartite committee on minimum wage set up by the Federal Government.
Meanwhile, another memo about a huge amount of money to be allocated as a subsidy for Hajj which purportedly emanated from the office of the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun was seen in public space, generating outrage among Civil Society Organisations, who have demanded probes of such allocations.
