The Presidency Tuesday said President Muhammadu Buhari followed due process in ordering the immediate disengagement of the former Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina, from service.
Why it matters: Shortly after Maina’s disengagement was announced on Monday, some commentators said the presidential order violated the provisions of the Civil Service Rule that stipulated how civil servants could be fired.
The Presidency’s remarks: Due process was followed. It said in ordering Maina’s disengagement, the President only directed appropriate authorities to effect the order in compliance with due process.
It said, “Reports that due process was not followed in the disengagement of Mr Maina from service are incorrect.
“The President directed the appropriate authorities to effect the disengagement in compliance with due process.
“President Buhari will continue to ensure that due process is followed every step of the way.”
1/ Reports that due process not followed in disengagement of Mr. Maina from Service are incorrect.
