Zulum approves appointment of seven permanent secretaries
Governor Babagana Zulum has approved the appointment of seven permanent secretaries to fill existing vacancies in Borno.
A statement issued on Wednesday by the head of service, Fannami, said those appointed emerged tops in the recent examination conducted for candidates during the selection process.
The appointees are Sadiq Mohammed, Mohammed Hamza, Yakaru Mustapha, Peter Salomon, Modu Sanda, Juliana Bitrus and Mohammed Lawan.
This was the first time permanent secretaries were appointed based on a civil service exam in Borno.
The development followed a directive by Mr Zulum that all categories of workers must sit and pass the promotion examination before moving to the next grade in public service.
