All federal government ministries,
departments and agencies (MDAs)
have been barred from advertising job
vacancies. Danladi Kifasi, the head of service of the federation, said on Thursday that this is to checkmate "indiscriminate employments and promotions" that have bloated the payroll.
At a meeting withtop officials of MDAs
in Abuja, Kifasi directed that since the
2015 budget is still before the national
assembly, they should send all
employment vacancies to his office by
the end of next month.
He said government has decided to go
back to the proper system of accurate
manpower planning and manpower
budget defence. Personnel cost requirements will now be included in the 2016 budget in accordance with new budgeting rules, he said.
This is another drastic measure taken
by the federal government following
the crash in crude oil prices. Kifasi has, early February, announced a ban on official foreign trips in order to save personnel costs..The issue of a heavy recurrent expenditure bill has been a source of debate in the last 10 years.
