It warned the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita, to thread with caution and be mindful of what posterity would speak about her after she must have left office as all the negative things happening during her tenure were alien to the service and had the potential of hurting the system.
The PUNCH reports that the tenure policy, which started in 2009 under the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, stipulated two term of four years each for Permanent Secretaries and a single term of eight years for directors.
