You're referring to the recent development where President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked Abdulrasheed Maina, the former Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, from the Federal Civil Service.
Here's a brief summary of the events:
- Abdulrasheed Maina was a controversial figure in the Nigerian pension sector, known for his alleged involvement in pension fraud and embezzlement.
- In 2015, he was declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for his alleged role in the mismanagement of pension funds.
- Despite being declared wanted, Maina was reinstated into the civil service in 2017, sparking widespread outrage and criticism.
- In September 2020, Maina was arrested and arraigned in court for his alleged involvement in the pension fraud.
- Following his arrest, President Buhari ordered an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Maina's reinstatement into the civil service.
- On October 23, 2020, President Buhari announced that Maina had been sacked from the Federal Civil Service, effective immediately.
The sack of Maina is seen as a major victory for anti-corruption efforts in Nigeria, and a demonstration of the President's commitment to tackling corruption and upholding the rule of law.
