The Federal Government has begun the process of appointing five new permanent secretaries, three of whom will head newly established ministries.
According to a memo from the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, the positions are open to qualified directors in the Federal Civil Service.
The memo, signed by the Head of the Civil Service, Didi Walson-Jack, stated:
“Following the approval of Mr President, the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation is set to commence the process for the appointment of five permanent secretaries.
These appointments will fill existing and impending vacancies for Imo State and the Federal Capital Territory, as well as three newly created rotational zonal positions arising from the establishment of additional ministries.
“To ensure equitable representation, the three zonal positions will, in the first instance, be filled by eligible candidates from three geo-political zones, selected based on alphabetical order — the North-Central, North-East, and South-East.”
The memo explained that eligible candidates must be directors on Grade Level 17 in the mainstream Federal Civil Service, have been verified on the IPPIS portal as confirmed staff members of the Federal Government, and must have served for at least two years as directors.
This is impressive, isn’t it?
