Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, ASCSN, has commended the Federal Government on the N6.08 trillion 2016 budget just as it stressed the need for the content of the budget to be implemented for the benefit of all Nigerians.

In a statement  in Lagos yesterday, the ASCSN President, Bobboi Bala Kaigama, and the Secretary-General, Alade Bashir Lawal, lauded the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to recruit 500,000 unemployed graduates and holders of National Certificate of Education, NCE, as teachers to curb the escalating rate of unemployment in the country.

According to the statement: “We also commend Mr President for his decision to ensure that all the Federal Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) are captured and brought under the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) because this will not only reduce the burden of manual preparation of payrolls but also curb cases of sharp practices in the system.”
