The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HoCSF), Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita, has opted for early retirement due to pressure from family members, Oyo-Ita was recently quizzed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged N3bn contract scam among others.
A family source told Daily Trust yesterday in Abuja that the embattled Head of Service, 55, caved in to pressure from her children who asked her to quit.
According to another source, Oyo-Ita’s argument on the need to see Mr. President to explain her side of the story was rejected by her children who insisted that her case was not unknown to him. “Madam (Oyo-Ita) tried and could not secure a direct appointment with Mr. President. She was unable to see him either in Katsina or Abuja.
She had no option than to send her early retirement notice to the president,” the source said.
“The president must have seen the letter today (yesterday) and I want to believe that he will endorse it. When he would take action is what we (referring to himself) don’t know now,” he added.
