A coalition of Civil Society Organisations have condemned the continued harassment of appointed public servants, especially women committed to public accountability.
This group’s latest reaction was fuelled from series of harassment of Yewande Sadiku, the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission including several women who have honoured the call to serve in the last few years.In a press statement on Friday, the CSOs listed female public servants who have equally been persecuted due to their transparent work ethic.
The group noted that Arunma Oteh’s challenges during her tenure as the Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission began “for daring to change the status quo in her bid to sanitise the market”. While the House of Representatives passed a resolution directing the then President Goodluck Jonathan to remove her from office, the SEC Board asked her to go on compulsory leave and started an investigation conducted by Price Waterhouse Coopers .
