Musa Bagos (PDP, Plateau) who issued the summon however did not say when the SGF, HCSOF, Minister of Finance and all others are to appear before the House.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Declaring open the investigative hearing earlier, Speaker of the House, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila described the Civil Service as the permanent government, adding that men and women who make up the service play essential roles in ensuring the government&#8217;s smooth and continuous operations from one administration to the other.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said this high responsibility carries with it the expectation of probity and professionalism, adding that as a result of that, the extent that the actual numbers of personnel who make up the civil service are inflated or populated by persons who ought not to be there, it is a matter of grave concern and deserves the most urgent response.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He disclosed that the House mandated its Committees on Anti-Corruption and Public Service Matters to conduct a prompt and thorough investigation to ascertain the extent of this problem, to understand the factors that have contributed to it and to propose remedial actions to ensure that the problem is adequately addressed.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0While insisting that nation-building is a joint task, he said every citizen has a role to play in building a nation capable of living up to its high potential and serving the interests of all its people, stressing that the assignment before the Committees and all those working with them is to ensure that we deliver a civil service that serves Nigeria and Nigerians well.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said &#8220;if we succeed, every citizen of this country, every foreigner who visits, lives or invests in Nigeria, as well as generations yet unborn, will benefit from that success. This is something we can aspire to, and from that aspiration, motivate ourselves to do the best we can to ensure the success of this present assignment.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;From inception, the 9th House of Representatives has made it a cardinal objective to address the causes and manifestations of public corruption in our country. To that end, the House has taken legislative action to strengthen the statutory framework of the anti-corruption agencies and ensure adequate budgetary allocations to fund their activities.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We have used the constitutional oversight authority of parliament to ensure that funds allocated to the public service are efficiently and effectively used, and we have encouraged the use of technology to address operational deficiencies in the public service. We will continue in these efforts, as this is what the Nigerian people rightly expect of us.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\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 House of Representatives on Tuesday summoned the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation and the Minister of Finance to&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":91890,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-91889","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 -
