President Bola Tinubu has appointed eight new permanent secretaries in the federal civil service to address current and upcoming vacancies across various states and geopolitical zones.
The appointments were made based on recommendations from the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, following a thorough selection process, as stated by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, on Monday evening.
The newly appointed permanent secretaries are Onwusoro Ihemelandu from Abia State; Ndiomu Philip from Bayelsa State; Anuma Nlia from Ebonyi State; Ogbodo Nnam from Enugu State; Kalba Usman from Gombe State; Usman Aminu from Kebbi State; Oyekunle Nwakuso from Rivers State; and Nadungu Gagare from Kaduna State.
