Buhari aware of Maina’s reinstatement, I warned him— HoS in leaked memo
The Head of Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita, has said President Muhammadu Buhari is aware of the reinstatement of a former Chairman of the Pension Reforms Commission, Mallam Abdulrasheed Maina, into the civil service.
She however said she warned the President against it.
