President Bola Tinubu cracks down on the ex-government workers who still get a wage despite leaving.
If you leave your job, it would seem logical that your salary would stop being paid, but not so for a number of former Nigerian civil servants.
Mr Adams added that the loss of his monthly Nigerian salary of 150,000 naira would not be a great hardship, as he earns a lot more driving a taxi. It has become so common for young people to seek their fortunes outside the country, the term “japa” has been coined to describe the phenomenon.Mr Tinubu said he was "struck by the revelations the head of the civil service shared regarding employees who had relocated abroad while drawing salaries without formally resigning".
The collapse in the value of the naira over the past year is pushing more young Nigerians to seek opportunities elsewhere ''To be honest I have never caught anyone red-handed,” Mr Yakasai, who worked for the government for 32 years, told the BBC.
