The Federal Government has explained why action has yet to be taken on the Oronsanye Committee’s report.
Head of Service of the Federation, Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan said the delay was because a second Committee had been set up since the “Oronsaye Committee Report is old”.
She spoje at a press chat with the State House Press Corps on Thursday in Abuja.
She said that the second Committee had already finished and submitted its report.
The new Committee, she said, captured other new institutions that were set up after the Oronsaye Committee Report.
According to the Head of Service, “a White Paper is being drafted after which action will be taken on the Oransaye report.:
She gave this insight while reacting to a question on why action had not been taken on the long-delayed restructuring of the Federal Civil Service as reportedly contained in the Oronsaye Report.
Yemi-Esan said “..because the Oronsaye report is old, we also have a second Committee that looked at the new institutions that have been set up even after the Oronsaye Committee Report. So those two committees have concluded their work and have submitted their report to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.What is happening now is that there is another Committee that is drafting the White Paper.
“It is until the White paper comes out that action will now be taken on the Oronsaye report.”
The Head of Service took the opportunity of the occasion to reel out the laudable achievements recorded by her office.
She disclosed that there were 61,447 verified staff members in MDAs in Nigeria.
She noted that a transportation scheme for Civil Servants in Abuja had been put in place.
It was flagged off with 20 buses.
:About forty more buses buses will come on stream to ease movement of Federal Civil servants.”
She disclosed that a payment measure had been fashioned out to ensure that only civil servants use the buses.
