The Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita, on Monday said her statement on a job for the father of a set of quintuplets born in Abuja was misreported.

According to the Director of Information at the service, Haruna Imrana, Mrs Oyo-Ita only pledged concerted efforts towards ensuring that the unemployed father of the babies, Imudia Uduehi, gets a job.

He said “What she (Mrs. Oyo-Ita) said was that efforts will be made to help the husband secure a job,” Mr. Imrana said, saying there was no promise of an immediate job.

Regarding the promise of an accommodation, Mr. Imrana clarified the house will be given to the children’s mother under a housing program for civil servants, tagged: Federal Integrated Staff Housing (FISH) Programme.

“It will be made available to her because she is a civil servant and she will now be registered in the program. And when they register her on the program all due process will now be hastened up to get her a house; she will be given top priority.”

Asked whether the children’s mother, Kemi Uduehi, will be expected to make all the necessary payments as other civil servants, in the scheme, Mr. Imrana answered in the affirmative.

“Exactly! But you see everything is going to be lessened for her, because a lot of people want to help her. She is going to get everything at a subsidised price,” he said.
