The Head of Service told the EFCC Chairman that he had strengthened and enhanced the autonomy of the anti corruption units in all Ministries, Departments and Agencies and called on the Commission to lend its expertise to help stamp out corruption and other vices in the Nigerian civil service.<\/p>\n<p>Responding, Lamorde promised that the EFCC would support all the efforts of the Head of Service to reposition the Service.<\/p>\n<p>On the delegation of the Head of Service, was the Permanent Secretary, Special Services, Engr. Esther Gonda, Permanent Secretary, Management Services and Bureau of Public Service Reforms, Dr. Ezekiel Oyemomi.\u00a0 Others included the Permanent Secretary, Career Management, Dr. James Obiegbu and Permanent Secretary, Establishment and Records Office, Dr. Folashade Yemi-Edun, among others.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Lamorde has charged the office of the Head of Service to put in place an internal mechanism to check the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7292,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
