Winifred Oyo-Ita, the head of service of the federation has reportedly offered to immediately proceed on retirement in a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to an exclusive report by TheCable, Oyo-Ita had been under pressure from her immediate family to retire after reports emerged that she was being probed over an alleged N3 billion contract scam.
Although she has vehemently denied involvement in any scam, she bowed to family pressures and sent in a letter on Sunday offering to proceed on retirement.
A family source was quoted as saying on Monday that “Mrs. Oyo-Ita has sent in her letter of retirement.”
Vigil360 observed that she was absent at the presidential retreat for ministers-designate, federal permanent secretaries and top government functionaries held at the state house conference centre in Abuja ahead of the inauguration of the Federal Executive Council, FEC.
Meanwhile, Buhari is yet to take a final decision on it although there are indications that he is favourably disposed to the option.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently questioned Oyo-Ita over allegations that she used front companies to get contracts when she was a permanent secretary before her appointment as head of service by Buhari in 2015.
