President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the suspension
of tenure policy in the Federal Civil Service.
The directive was
contained in a circular to all ministries departments and agencies (MDAs)
signed by Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs Winifred Oyo-Ita.
Oyo-Ita, in the
circular, said the directive was from President Buhari and asked all concerned
to comply accordingly.
Until the suspension,
Permanent Secretaries were appointed to serve for a tenure of four years,
subject to renewal, while Directors were appointed to serve for eight years,
except the mandatory 60 years retirement age or 35 years in services catches up
with them.
The tenure policy was
fixed in 2009 by the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s administration.
