The Presidency has given more
reasons President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the disengagement of former
Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms Abdulrasheed
Abdullahi Maina from Federal Civil Service.
Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media
and Publicity, Femi Adesina, explained that the president “acted on a new set
of facts” while issuing the directive for the disengagement of Maina.
Giving more reasons, Adesina said
Buhari relieved Maina of his duty because he left the service without
permission and he ran away from the country.
The presidential spokesperson
added that Maina’s action brought embarrassment on Buhari’s government.
“In issuing the directive that
Maina should be immediately disengaged from service, Mr. President acted on a
new set of facts. One, for leaving the service without permission; he ran away
from the country. And two, for the embarrassment he has brought to the
government,” Adesina said, on Monday.
Recall that the Attorney-General
of the Federation and Justice Minister, Abubakar Malami had reportedly
directed the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) to reinstate Maina, after
being on the run for alleged N2bn scam, among others.
