Ministry of Interior Permanent Secretary Abubakar Magaji owned up to the lapses in Maina’s reinstatement, which sparked a huge row.
Magaji spoke when he appeared before the House of Representatives Ad hoc Committee investigating the “disappearance, reappearance, reinstatement and promotion of Maina’’ in Abuja.
According to TheNation, the reference letter made to inform the Head of Civil Service of the Federation that Maina resumed duty was a letter sent to the Federal Civil Service Commission.
“When I observed this upon resumption from sick leave, I quickly replied to the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs Winifred Oyo-Ita, apologising to her about the reference letter.
“But service is an institution; whatever happened in the process of the minutes, the permanent secretary is the head of the administration and I am here to take responsibility.
“Whatever the Interior Ministry has done wrongly in accordance with the way administrative matter has been done to the end of this matter, I take responsibility because I cannot reject.
“I am the permanent secretary, head of administration and I take responsibility for any administrative wrongdoing that Ministry of Interior has done,’’ Magaji said.
Mrs. Oyo-Ita insisted that the ministry acted in error on the issue.
She said Maina’s reinstatement letter was not endorsed by the Head of Civil Service of the Federation and the letter of posting not delivered to him.
