The Borno State Civil Service Commission has raised the alarm over the refusal by retired officers to hand over their offices.
The commission raised the concerns in a circular signed by Mr Ngada Idris, the Ministerial Secretary of the commission.
The commission observed in the circular sent to ministries, departments and agencies, that the development was becoming rampant.
“The Civil Service Commission has observed with concern the attitude of some civil servants who, after mandatory retirement from service, retained their offices.
“It is illegal for any retired officer not to vacate his or her office or hand over the schedule to the next most senior officer for any reason.
“To ensure absolute confidentiality in the government business, no retired officer is allowed to handle official documents a day longer than necessary,” the circular stated.
