D.O of Ndu Issues Warning to Absentee Civil Servants, Threatens Sanctions

Absentee civil servants in Ndu subdivision, Donga-Mantung division of Cameroon’s Northwest region, have until Thursday, May 16, 2024, to return to their duty posts or face disciplinary sanctions for dereliction of duty. This is according to a press release issued by the Divisional Officer for Ndu.

The press release, dated May 8, 2024, highlights the widespread abandonment of duties by public servants.

“It has come to my attention that some civil servants have deserted their assigned duty posts in Ndu Subdivision to relocate elsewhere, where they are either idle or engaged in private employment,” read the document signed by Adamu Shuaibu, Divisional Officer of Ndu.

Labelling such behaviour as unpatriotic, the civil administrator laments that even some department heads are among those who have neglected their duties.

“While strongly denouncing such unpatriotic acts, I hereby urge all absent civil servants to return to their respective duty posts no later than Thursday, May 16, 2024, at 8:00 am, failing which they will face appropriate disciplinary measures for abandonment of duty,” he said.

He further instructs all department heads to “submit a list of absent employees from their departments by the aforementioned deadline.”

Since the escalation of the Anglophone crisis, a significant number of public servants in the Northwest region have fled their duty posts due to fear of attacks from separatist Ambazonia fighters.

Many of them have been threatened with sanctions by civil administrators, who often downplay the insecurity in the region, suggesting that everything has returned to normalcy.
