The President Muhammadu Buhari has swore in six new permanent secretaries in the Federal Civil Service at the Council Chambers of the State House, Abuja.

“Mr President, six persons have fulfilled the conditions as permanent secretaries after a selection exercise recently conducted for directors.

“This exercise involved competency tests and interactions with a wide range of stakeholders,” he said.
