FG signals dismissal warning to 3,598 workers, orders fresh verification

The Federal Civil Service Commission has ordered 3,598 civil servants who missed the 2021 verification exercise to appear for a re-verification, warning that failure to do so will be taken as evidence of holding fake appointment letters.

 

The exercise will run from Monday, August 18 to Thursday, August 28, 2025, across various ministries and government agencies, including the Federal Ministries of Agriculture, Defence, Education, Justice, Works, Information, Science and Technology, Aviation, Finance, Interior, and the State House.

 

A document dated August 4, sighted by our correspondent on Monday, directed all affected officers to check their names on the commission’s website, the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation’s website, and on the notice boards of their ministries.

 

Officers are required to present originals and photocopies of their appointment and promotion letters, gazette of appointment and confirmation, staff change letter, and July 2025 IPPIS payslip.

 

The document read, “The Federal Civil Service Commission has concluded arrangements to conduct a re-verification exercise for all those who failed to appear during the 2021 verification exercise for officers recruited by the Commission from 2013 to 2020.

 

“Consequently, all concerned officers are to check for their names on the Commission’s website (www.fedcivilservice.gov.ng), Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation’s website (www.ohcsf.gov.ng) and the notice boards of your ministry.

 

“In addition, all affected officers are to take note of the following important details: Each officer is to come along with the original and photocopy of the documents specified in the attached list; adhere strictly to the dates on the attached schedule; check the attached list sent to the Ministries for their names; officers who have been posted out of the Ministry, are on Secondment/Transfer out of the Ministry, or on Study leave, are to equally check the websites provided above; no further extension will be granted any officer who fails to turn up for the exercise; any officer who fails to turn up for the exercise will be adjudged to be holding fake letter of appointment and is, therefore, deliberately staying away to avoid detection; those who have been to the Commission recently for the exercise, need not appear.”

 

The FCSC said the highest numbers of affected officers are in the Ministries of Information (592), Education (506), and Labour (440).

 

Others include Works (134), Industry and Trade (196), Health (158), Environment (237), Interior (24), Defence (28), and the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (36), among others.
