PFIPC Probe: Reps panel declares appointment letter of agency’s DG fake, HOS testifies

Mr Gagdi said the committee’s findings, as well as evidence from the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation and the Nigeria Police Force, showed that the appointment letter purportedly signed by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, did not bear the same signature as genuine correspondence from the office.

The chairman said the committee had obtained nine separate correspondences from the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President addressed to different government institutions, including the National Security Adviser, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, State Security Services and the Nigeria Police Force.

The development comes as the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack, appeared before the committee for the second time to make further clarifications on the role of her office in granting the disputed council an authorised establishment and recruitment waiver.
