President Tinubu Appoints Eight New Permanent Secretaries in Federal Civil Service.

In a significant move to enhance governance efficiency, President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of eight permanent secretaries in the Federal Civil Service. This decision aims to address current and impending vacancies across various states and geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

The newly appointed permanent secretaries, as announced by the President’s media aide, Bayo Onanuga, are: Onwusoro Maduka Ihemelandu (Abia State), Ndiomu Ebiogeh Philip (Bayelsa State), Anuma Ogbonnaya Nlia (Ebonyi State), Ogbodo Chinasa Nnam (Enugu State), Kalba Danjuma Usman (Gombe State), Usman Salihu Aminu (Kebbi State), Oyekunle Patience Nwakuso (Rivers State), and Nadungu Gagare (Kaduna State).

This latest appointment marks the second set of eight permanent secretaries selected by President Tinubu, following an earlier round conducted in June, which included appointees from Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bauchi, Jigawa, Ondo, Zamfara, as well as the South East and South-South regions.

The selection of these new permanent secretaries was recommended by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, reflecting a thorough and diligent evaluation process. In conjunction with these appointments, President Tinubu has urged the new officials to exhibit enhanced commitment, diligence, and innovation in their service to the nation, emphasizing the critical role of effective leadership within the civil service.

This strategic move not only underscores the administration’s commitment to strengthening government institutions but also aims to ensure that the civil service operates with renewed vigor and efficiency.
