The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack, has admitted that her office failed to carry out adequate due diligence before approving recruitment requests linked to the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council.
Walson-Jack made the admission on Wednesday while appearing before the House Committee probing the activities of the council and the Presidential Economic Advisory Council.
She acknowledged that her office relied on documents presented by representatives of the organisation without independently verifying their authenticity.
“My office received the Letter of Appointment and the Establishment Act and, based on those documents and also based on the interaction with the representatives of the PEAC and PFICP, we went on to issue the Authorised Establishment and later the Recruitment Waiver,” she said.
The Head of Service admitted that her office should have carried out more thorough checks before granting the approvals.
