President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the appointment of five new Permanent Secretaries to fill existing vacancies in the Federal Civil Service.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Walson-Jack, announced the appointments in a statement released on Monday in Abuja by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Mrs. Eno Olotu.
According to the statement, the new appointees are: Ibrahim Ozi – Federal Capital Territory, Ezemama Chidiebere – Imo State, Garba Usman – North Central Geo-Political Zone, Mohammed Ishiyaku – North East Geo-Political Zone and Ukaire Chigbowu – South East Geo-Political Zone.
Mrs. Walson-Jack noted that the selection followed a rigorous and transparent process consistent with President Tinubu’s commitment to meritocracy and excellence in the nation’s civil service.

“The new Permanent Secretaries bring a wealth of experience and expertise to their roles. Their appointment will further enhance public service delivery and strengthen the implementation of the government’s development agenda,” she said.
The Head of Service commended President Tinubu for his continued support for transparency, professionalism, and competence in the Federal Civil Service. She added that the appointments reflect the administration’s resolve to foster a results-driven and efficient public service that meets the aspirations of Nigerians.
Earlier in September, it was reported that the Office of the Head of the Civil Service had commenced the process for appointing five new Permanent Secretaries, following presidential approval. The positions were created by the retirement of two Permanent Secretaries representing Imo State and the Federal Capital Territory, as well as three zonal vacancies—North Central, North East, and South East—arising from the establishment of new ministries.
Walson-Jack had stated that only officers on Grade Level 17 who have spent at least two years on the grade, and who are free from disciplinary actions, were eligible for consideration.
