The appointments followed recommendations by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation after a rigorous selection process, according to a statement by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, on Monday evening.
The newly appointed permanent secretaries are OnwusoroIhemelandu 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.

President Tinubu urged the new appointees to exhibit unwavering dedication, diligence, and innovation in their service to the nation.
