In a bid to maintain proper planning cum implementation, the office sent out circular with bio-data forms on 26th May 2022 to all Ministries\/Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to fill. Many officers complied while some failed to adhere to the directive. A reminder was sent on 19th July 2023 for all those who failed to fill the biodata forms. Yet many did not comply especially Officers who have their salary pay points with the Office of the Head of Civil Service but their duty stations are elsewhere\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019Predicated on the above, the office decided to send invitation letters to all MDAs requesting pool Officers under the Office of the Head of Civil Service to appear physically with a bid to make budgetary provision for their promotions and equally know their duty stations. This exercise commenced on 4th December 2023 and to end on the 8th December 2023 based on the timetable for MDAs to appear on their stated dates. There was adequate sitting arrangement for Officers in the Conference hall, as such, there was no queue as reported,\u2019\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n<p>The HOS said the directive for the exercise as against the caption by the online news on socio-media was not by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/12\/07\/court-fines-yahaya-bello-n500m-for-breach-of-ajakas-rights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Governor Yahaya Bello<\/a> adding that the effort was in a bid to identify the total number of the pool staff of the Office of the Head of Civil Service whose pay points are with the office but rendering their services elsewhere in other MDAs.<\/p>\n<p>She added that for officers outside the office of the Head of Civil Service, their salaries were stepped down pending when they show up to update their data noting that such was the only way to make defaulters comply and this action is in their favour, otherwise, their names would be missing from the authentic nominal roll as bonafide staff of Kogi State Government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commiserated with family of the Officer who died at in-house exercise\u00a0 Kogi
