The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HCSF), Mrs Didi Walson-Jack, has said the probe instituted by the Federal Government to identify civil servants receiving salaries after relocating abroad is still ongoing.

She said this on Monday in Abuja at a briefing to celebrate her 100 days in office and stock-taking of her stewardship in the civil service.

She said that the process had not been swept under the carpet and that government had sustained the momentum to ensure workers who left the country in search of greener pastures abroad are no longer drawing salaries from the system.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu in June 2024, directed that all civil servants drawing salaries from the government after relocating abroad should be sanctioned and made to refund the money. The President also directed that the supervisors and department heads of the culprits must be punished for aiding and abetting the fraud under their watch.

The directive came after the immediate past HCSF, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, said efforts were being to track Nigerians who had relocated abroad, but were still under the payroll of the civil service.
