SOLUDO APPOINTS NEW PERMANENT SECRETARIES BY STRICT MERIT

Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, has approved the appointments of new permanent secretaries across the civil service ministries in the state.

In line with his reforms agenda to ensure transparency, accountability and optimal delivery of good governance to Ndi Anambra, the new appointments were subjected to stringent due process and merit, not minding extraneous factors such as state of origin or any other affiliation.

Specifically, a meticulous and transparent process was employed in the selection of prospective candidates for the esteemed positions of Permanent Secretaries.

Recognizing the overriding importance of fairness and meritocracy, a comprehensive search method was meticulously crafted and implemented.

The uncompromising process includes the following:

*Computer Based Exam:*

Meritocracy was the basis, as candidates underwent rigorous aptitude tests. Criteria such as professional spread, Local Government Area (LGA) representation, and remaining years in service were carefully considered. This ensured the identification of high-performing individuals in different professions and senatorial zones who are poised to excel within the Civil Service.

*Search Process:*

Acknowledging the dedication and contributions of candidates in their respective ministries, a performance-centric approach was integrated. Those who exhibited exceptional commitment and hard work were duly recognized, aligning with the principle of rewarding merit and fostering a culture of excellence.

*One-on-One Interaction with Mr Governor:*

As a final layer of scrutiny, each shortlisted candidate underwent a one-on-one interview with Mr Governor. This personalized interaction allowed for a deeper understanding of the candidates' aspirations, vision, and alignment with the government's objectives, ensuring a well-rounded evaluation.

It is imperative to note that historically, the selection of Permanent Secretaries solely rested with the prerogative of Mr Governor. However, this time, a deliberate shift towards a transparent search process was initiated.

This change aimed to uphold principles of fairness, equal opportunity, and the identification of the most qualified candidates.

Below is the list of names of the newly appionted permanent secretaries

Good one...in unity we stand. Nice gesture from Mr Governor!

That's good .
Irrespective of our tribe and diversity,we can still come together to make things work better.

Is this supposed to be news if not that higher populations of Nigerians are shallow minded?

Good time to unite us for human purposes not
Just personal gains

The question here is, Was Mr. Adebayo OJEYINKA, under the payroll of Anambra state civil service commission? If yes, know that the appointment is based on merit, and deserve no commendation from the governor. If No, know that the appointment is political and it deserve the governor's commendation.
