On Tuesday, the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation announced the start of an accreditation process to select five new Federal Permanent Secretaries.
A statement from the Director of Press at the OHCSF, Eno Olotu, said the process was approved by President Bola Tinubu.
Olotu explained that the exercise is meant to fill current and upcoming vacancies for people from Adamawa, Bayelsa, Enugu, Kano, and Ogun.
He added that the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack, called the accreditation a key first step in an important national task that will shape the future quality, honesty, and ability of the Federal Civil Service leadership.
“Mrs Walson-Jack charged the Accreditation Committee to execute its duties with utmost diligence, thoroughness, and strict adherence to established rules and procedures. She emphasised that the principles of fairness, transparency, and merit must be paramount throughout the exercise.
“In his remarks, the Chairman of the Accreditation Committee and Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Education, Mr Olumuyiwa Abel Enitan, reiterated the Head of Service’s directive. He underscored the collective responsibility of committee members to protect the integrity of the Civil Service,” the statement stated.

Enitan warned that even a small mistake or mistake at this point could damage the whole selection process. So he asked everyone to be very careful, work well together, and follow the rules exactly to make sure everything is fair and without problems.
The eligibility criteria for the appointment of a Permanent Secretary are outlined in the Public Service Rules 2021.
Permanent Secretaries in Nigeria are appointed from among serving Directors in the Federal Civil Service, with the process overseen by the Head of Civil Service of the Federation upon approval by the President. Key rules (PSR 2021) stipulate a four-year renewable term (maximum eight years), strict merit-based selection, and eligibility for specific states to maintain Federal Character.
