Buhari suspends tenure policy in civil service

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.
