“It was necessary for me to come round today with some of my permanent secretaries when I observed the scantiness in some offices after the Christmas holidays. The essence is to find out what is really happening,’’ She said.

“The system whereby records of civil servants are kept just anyhow in piles of files in registries which could get eaten up by rodents cannot continue in 2016. During my tenure, the records and document management of the Federal Civil Service will be fully automated,’’ Oyo-Ita added.
