Winifred Oyo-Ita, head of civil service of the federation, has submitted the report on the recall of former chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Abdullahi Abdulrasheed Maina.

President Muhammadu Buhari had in a memo on Monday demanded a full report on the circumstances surrounding Maina’s reinstatement.

He demanded the report before the close of work on Monday.

Garba Shehu, senior special assistant on media and publicity, said on Monday night: “I have confirmation that the head of service of the federation , Mrs. Oyo-Ita, has brought the report on the re-engagement of Abdulrasheed Maina as directed by the president. This is being studied as other reports are being awaited.”

Maina, who was on the run over a pension fraud running into N100 billion, was dismissed from the civil service in 2013 for absconding.

He was secretly reabsorbed and promoted in September.
