The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced plans to investigate allegations that some civil servants are receiving salaries from foreign sources while still on the government payroll. This move underscores the government’s commitment to curbing corruption and ensuring accountability within the public service.

Speaking on the development, officials highlighted concerns about potential conflicts of interest, ethical violations, and the broader implications for the integrity of Nigeria’s civil service system. The investigation aims to identify individuals involved in such practices and determine the legality of their actions.

“This issue undermines the principles of public service and raises questions about loyalty and focus,” a senior government official stated.

The government emphasized its resolve to address any irregularities uncovered during the investigation and warned that those found guilty of violating public service rules would face appropriate disciplinary measures.

This initiative forms part of broader reforms aimed at improving transparency and efficiency in Nigeria’s civil service, ensuring that public servants remain committed to their duties within the country.
