According to reports, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Bukar Goni Aji, according to a statement by the Director of Communication in his office, Tope Ajakaiye, issued the directive in a circular to all Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government.
“Such acts portend grave danger for national security, especially in view of intelligent reports indicating that men of the underworld also indulge in these unlawful acts to perpetrate heinous crimes,” he said.
“Directives have been issued to the Nigeria Police to apprehend any government official found engaging in such practices for appropriate prosecution.”

The Punch reports:
Consequently, the government has directed security agencies to arrest any official involved in such act.
Meanwhile, the HOS has stressed the need to revisit the age-long values and code of ethics guiding the conduct of civil servants.
Aji, in another circular to all MDAs, said the decision was in continuation of the desire to reposition the civil service for effective service delivery.
He listed the values and ethics as discipline, integrity, moral rectitude, political neutrality, loyalty and patriotism, courtesy and politeness.
Others are modesty, tact and industry, tidiness in work environment and decency in dressing, probity and accountability and promptness in service delivery.
He called on civil servants to “ensure efficient service delivery and display professional discipline in the discharge of their responsibilities in order to enhance public confidence.”
The HOS had earlier this week banned the conferment of chieftaincy titles and “other sundry awards” on civil servants until after their retirement or disengagement from service.
This came two weeks after the civil service criminalised private practice and warned against ownership of private enterprises, except farming.
