Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Yahaya
Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Yahaya, on Monday approved the appointment of 19 Permanent Secretaries to fill vacancies in the State Civil Service and strengthen administrative capacity for effective and efficient service delivery.
The Head of the State Civil Service, Prof. Mu’azu Shehu, who conveyed the governor’s approval, said the appointments became necessary due to the shortage of Permanent Secretaries in the service, as well as the recent creation and restructuring of ministries by the state government.
He explained that filling the vacancies would ensure that the affected ministries had competent administrative leadership and were adequately positioned to effectively discharge their mandates.
Shehu said, “The officers selected for the appointments were drawn from 11 Local Government Areas, with due consideration given to geographical spread, professional experience, competence and the specific requirements of the various ministries.”
