He added that the exercise is taking place simultaneously across the six geo-political zones of the country.
He also confirmed that officials from the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation are in Gombe to verify the actual number of affected civil servants.
Speaking on behalf of the disengaged staff, Muhammad Abubakar commended the Federal Government for facilitating the payment of their long-outstanding severance benefits.
