The Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday, August 10, approved the appointment of 21 new Permanent Secretaries in the Federal Civil Service.

The appointment was announced in a statement issued today in Abuja from the office of Mrs Winifred Oyo-Ita, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, by Mr Haruna Imrana, Director, Communications.

The statement added that their portfolios would be announced in due course.

The appointment followed after a week-long rigorous examination of  300 Federal Directors at Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

The change in policy for the Federal Permanent Secretaries to write examinations was part of the resolutions of the National Council on Establishment (NEC) held July 2016 in Minna, Niger State.

Over 200 of the 300 Directors earlier shortlisted for interviews and verification for the 21 vacant positions of Federal Permanent Secretaries failed to scale the hurdle for the final stages of the exercise.

The candidates went through three levels of examination, including relevant public service and policy issues, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) assessment test and oral interview, within one week.
