Tinubu appoints Adeladan Olarinre, Mukhtar Muhammed as permanent secretaries

President Bola Tinubu has appointed two permanent secretaries to fill existing vacancies in the federal civil service.

A statement on Wednesday by Eno Olotu, the director, information and public relations at the office of the head of civil service of the federation, said the appointments followed a “rigorous and transparent process in line with the administration’s commitment to meritocracy in the civil service”.

The newly appointed officers are Adeladan Olarinre, representing Oyo state, and Mukhtar Muhammed, representing the north-west geopolitical zone.

The director said the appointment reflected the administration’s dedication to fostering a competent and results-oriented public service.

“The new permanent secretaries are urged to bring wealth of their experiences and expertise to their roles, which will further strengthen the delivery of public services and support the government’s development agenda,’’ she said.

Olotu commended Didi Walson-Jack, head of the service (HoS) of the federation, for her commitment to entrench the principles of transparency and meritocracy in civil service.
