Head Of Service: MDAs Barred From Advertising Job Vacancies.


Federal Secretariat Complex

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 with top 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. 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.
