President Muhammadu Buhari has
ordered the reinstatement of three permanent secretaries, who had been under
suspension since 2015.
Lawrence Ojabo, Director
Information, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, on
Friday said the President gave the directive while considering recommendations
of the Federal Service Management Committee and that of the SGF.
He explained that the president
ordered that the appointments of the permanent secretaries, who have been
without posting since November 2015, should not be terminated in view of the
fact that allegations against them could not be proven.
“The Presidential clean bill for
the top civil servants is a further demonstration of the Federal Government’s
determination to ensure that no government employee is unduly victimized on
account of frivolous allegations and petitions,” he said.
The permanent secretaries are
Mrs, Ibukun Abimbola Odusote, Mrs. Nkechi Ejele and Mrs. Fatima Binta Bamidele.
Bamidele, was in the Ministry of
Niger Delta Affairs while Ejele and Odusote were in the Ministry of Culture and
National Orientation and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development,
respectively.
The officials were suspended in
November, 2015 and investigated for alleged misconduct.
However, Bamidele recently
retired from the service upon the attainment of the mandatory age of 60 years.
