In a move aimed at reinforcing the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC), President Bola Tinubu has announced the appointment of twelve individuals to serve as key members.
According to a statement released by the President’s spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, the appointment of the members is contingent upon the confirmation of the Nigerian Senate.
The incoming FCSC leadership, headed by the newly appointed Chairman, Prof. Tunji Olaopa, is expected to commence duties on November 30, 2023, following the conclusion of the current Chairman and members’ tenure on November 29, 2023.
Ngelale emphasized that the President has high expectations for the new FCSC leadership, anticipating their pivotal role in driving the transformation, reorientation, and digitization of the Federal Bureaucracy. This effort is intended to not only foster but also bolster private sector participation, aligning closely with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the administration.
