“The President has approved the deployment of four (4) Federal Permanent Secretaries, who were earlier appointed and sworn in,” the statement read.
According to the release, the appointments followed a competitive selection process and are intended to boost inter-ministerial collaboration and drive sustainable development.
“The newly appointed Permanent Secretaries bring a wealth of experience, expertise, and innovation to their new roles.”
The statement added, noting that “their posting is designed to optimise performance, foster inter-ministerial collaboration, and drive sustainable development across key sectors of the economy.”
