Audit Of Civil Servants Begins Next Weeka
The Rivers Government would begin the audit of its workers to eliminate ghost staff and those who falsified their ages.
The Chairman of the Civil Service Commission, Mr Ngo Martyns-Yellowe, said this at a meeting with directors in the state civil service last Friday in Port Harcourt that the verification would commence by the middle of this month.
He said the staff audit was part of the government’s efforts to revamp the civil service for effective service delivery.
According to him, public impression of the state civil service is not encouraging, saying the weaknesses in the system such as frequent age falsification and ghost workers syndrome must be eliminated.
Martyns-Yellowe cautioned the directors not to weaken the system and urged them to ensure strict compliance with laid down service rules and procedures.
He advised them to cooperate with their permanent secretaries to ensure better working relationship for maximum productivity.
The chairman promised to tackle the issue of workers being promoted without financial benefits.
Chief Jonathan Gunn, who spoke on behalf of the directors, asked for the progression of directors on Grade level 16 and 17 and to allow those retired to leave with their service vehicles.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
