Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has approved the appointment of 36 permanent secretaries in an acting capacity. In the new appointment, 24 directors loyal to the administration to the governor made the list of the new acting permanent secretaries. 160 applicants, including the relieved permanent secretaries and substantive directors on level 16, applied for the 33 slots. Three additional offices of the permanent secretaries created. Ganduje sacked 33 permanent secretaries two weeks ago following alleged involvement of the senior civil servants in partisan politics.
