Head of Service of the Federation, Dr. Folashade Yemi-Esan has rejected in its entirety the notion that servants are sycophants.<\/p>\n

Addressing the press on Wednesday as part of the events outlined for the 2024 civil service week, the HoS said though civil servants were obligated to serve any government, they were not sycophantic.<\/p>\n

According to her, any civil servant being sycophantic for any reason does not know their job, adding that workers at all levels have been equipped to carry out their duties with confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cI disagree completely with [the notion] that civil servants are sycophants. Yes, we serve any government in power but definitely, civil servants are sycophants.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody that knows their job can never be a sycophant. It is when you don\u2019t know your job or you\u2019re unsure of what you\u2019re doing that you\u2019ll dance to this tune or that tune.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re imputing a lot of courage and confidence in civil servants. They\u2019re not doing \u2018boy boy\u2019 to anybody. Don\u2019t call us sycophants. We don\u2019t agree with that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
