Meanwhile, the federal government has initiated the process of appointing a new Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) and two federal permanent secretaries, following approval from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Naija News reports that this was disclosed on Monday night in Abuja by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HCSF), Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, in a statement issued by the Director of Information and Public Relations in her office, Eno Olotu.
To ensure the selection of qualified, credible, and competent individuals, Walson-Jack stated that the appointment process will follow a structured, multi-tiered evaluation system, as approved by the President, reaffirming the government’s commitment to a transparent and merit-driven selection process.
She explained that the two vacant permanent secretary positions resulted from the recent retirement of a permanent secretary from Oyo State and an impending vacancy in the North-West geopolitical zone. Additionally, the position of Accountant-General of the Federation will become vacant upon the retirement of the incumbent in March 2025.
