A human rights organisation, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), has threatened to sue the Nigerian Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) over a move to dismiss or retire a whistleblower, Richard Oghenerhoro for uncovering fake employment in the ministry and making it public. Oghenerhoro had alleged in his petition, obtained by The PUNCH, that some civil servants joined the ministry with fake appointment letters. An investigative panel was constituted following the receipt of Oghenerhoro’s petition dated July 22, 2020.

Oghenerhoro had alleged in his petition that some civil servants joined the ministry with fake appointment letters.

An investigative panel was constituted following the receipt of Oghenerhoro’s petition dated July 22, 2020. However, contrary to this Policy, the Ministry's Panel found Mr Oghenerhoro guilty of misconduct, breach of oath of secrecy, unauthorised disclosure of official information and copying of official documents, contrary to the provisions of the Public Service Rules .

In the report, the committee noted that one of the civil servants with the fake employment letter noted, “His uncle got the job for him and had no idea about the status of his letter; he also informed the committee that he has been receiving salary since January 2020.” “The Department of Human Resource Management should be directed to ensure that the names of the officers with alleged fake letters of appointment are immediately delisted from the nominal roll, stopped from performing any official duty and their relevant departments duly notified.

Fashola was the best thing to happen to Lagos as Governor then...so sad to see him back slide so much into betrayal and aligning with thieves to becoming a mega thief himself... Doing the right thing in Nigeria can lead to trouble... Lawless Zoo of a country.

Fashola was once hailed as a good guy. He's just corrupt as the rest now

SERAP and useless sues with no tangible results 🤝

I love fash before you see now hmm make I rest my comment

Buhari promised to fight corruption during his 2015 campaign, we never know he is corruption himself

Congratulations to Blower

The coalition alleged that the programme was being sabotaged because of a suit filed by 15 companies involved in the 2019 looting of the Amnesty Training Centre located in Kaiama community of Bayelsa State. Lazy youths not wanting to work but requesting handouts. Going! The flying carpet of the ezi-nmiri. Billions left right and center like they are dealing with ordinary papers. Need to sanitize these sectors to focus on their mandatory task.
