President Mohammed Buhari has approved the removal of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Barrister Danladi Kifasi, who has been ordered to proceed on terminal leave to pave way for some geo-political balancing in the Federal appointments.
The
change, which is yet to be made official by the Presidency as at time of this
report on Tuesday, was aimed at enforcing the federal character principle as
enshrined in Nigeria's constitution.
Information
revealed that President Buhari might be looking at the South-East zone to
produce a possible replacement for Kifasi.
According
to PRNigeria, the Federal Government may soon announce a new Head of
Civil Service of the Federation (HOS). The Deputy Director of Communications,
Office of Head of Service of Federation, Mohammed Manga, upon enquiries. has
however refused to comment on the matter.
Kifasi
who hails from Taraba State is from the same North-East zone with the Secretary
to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir David Lawal who is from
Adamawa State.
