Tinubu appoints eight new Permanent Secretaries [FULL LIST]

Eight new Federal Permanent Secretaries were appointed on Friday, with President Bola Tinubu approving the appointments.

Ajuri Ngelale, the president’s Special Advisor on Media and Publicity, announced the appointment in a statement.

According to him, the permanent secretaries were chosen to occupy positions in the top administrative cadre of the Federal Government’s Civil Service that were currently open or would become vacant in a few states and geopolitical areas.

Ngelale claims that they were recruited following a careful selection procedure conducted by the Office of the Head of the Federation’s Civil Service.

Dr. Emanso Umobong Okop from Akwa-Ibom, Obi Emeka Vitalis from Anambra, Mahmood Fatima Sugra Tabi’a from Bauchi, Danjuma Mohammed Sanusi from Jigawa, Olusanya Olubunmi from Ondo, Keshinro Maryam Ismaila from Zamfara, Akujobi Chinyere Ijeoma from South-East, and Isokpunwu Christopher Osaruwanmwen from South-South are the new Permanent Secretaries.

“The President believes that in carrying out their duties and guaranteeing the best possible service delivery to the Nigerian people, the newly appointed Federal Permanent Secretaries will demonstrate complete devotion, industriousness, and loyalty to the country,” the statement continued.
