Buhari kicks out 184 top officials

President Muhammadu Buhari has removed
about 184 top budget officials from budget duties
and redeployed them to establishments that have
little or nothing to do with budget over their roles
in padding the 2016 budget.
The present move is pursuance to his earlier
stance to deal decisively with all those involved
in the padding of the 2016 National Budget which
has brought much embarrassment to the federal
government.
Speaking about the shakeup, a top official in the
budget office confirmed to Vanguard that 22 top
officers from the budget office of the federation
were affected in the mass deployment.
The rest were moved away from budget-related
duties in other ministries, departments and
agencies, (MDAs).
Following the mass redeployment, 14 other
directors said to have been tested have been
redeployed to the same office with immediate
effect to replace the removed officers.
The directive to redeploy the tainted officers to
other duties reportedly came the office of the
head of service of the federation.
All the affected officers, according to the
directive, are to report in their new locations on
or before the close of work today, March 1o.

Recall that back in February, President
Muhammadu Buhari complained the
unauthorised alterations of the 2016 budget had
completely changed the document from the one
he presented to the National Assembly,
He vowed that all those involved in the padding
of the budget will face the most severe
punishment. He also ordered for investigation
into allegations of fraudulent alterations in the
document with strict orders that all cases of
discrepancies, errors and ambiguities be
resolved promptly.

What does your surname says about you?

There Are 7 Types of English Surnames — Which One Is Yours? [Photo credit: Shutterstock] Many of us have surnames passed down to us from ancestors in England .

Thus arose descriptions like Thomas the Baker, Norman son of Richard, Henry the Whitehead, Elizabeth of the Field, and Joan of York that, ultimately, led to many of our current surnames.
