Billyonaire: Is it constitutionally wrong ? Is she qualified to be permanent secretary. I avoid to react emotionally on this, if the constitution is silent on this or does not kick against it, then I think its okay by me.

bayooooooo:

You are a foooooool! Where has she been working for the past seven years? Name the ministry!

We all know of Mary Odili who is now a Justice of the Supreme Court. She rose through the ranks.

Johnbull my son, the office of the perm sec is not attained solely by promotion but also by appointment. PJ worked with the MOE for a brief period before her husband became a politician.


I really don't understand the angst furore over this issue, y'all should praise PJ for stooping so low to accept a humble position as a perm sec in a state owned parastatal whilst she is the first lady.

Is she not bigger than that?

Nigeria with their funny way of doing things how can first lady becoming perm sect that same time. I do not know why in this country you will never hear good news only terible and funny news. God safe us

Iworiso-Markson explained that the First Lady was a teacher in the state’s civil service and has been on leave of absence since 1999 when her husband became the deputy governor of the state.

As if to pre-empt queries and unfair remarks that may trail the appointment, the governor’s spokesman argued that Mrs Jonathan would have risen to the status of a permanent secretary, if she did not punctuate her career growth by taking a leave of absence to join her husband in his political service, first to Bayelsa State and then to the entire nation.

Hear him: “But for her position, she would have been at that position before now.”

It was not immediately known which ministry she has been posted to, albeit in absentia, or which ministry she was serving before she went on her leave of absence.

By Mrs Jonathan’s appointment, her position in the Bayelsa civil service has been retained, the leave of absence not withstanding, although the appointment will remain nominal since she is on a leave of absence. It is remarkable to note that at retirement, whether she returns to the service or not, she will be graded on the rank of permanent secretary in the Bayelsa civil service.

clemmonce: NOW I UNDERSTAND. APPOINTMENT IN NIGERIA IS NOT BY CREDIBILITY ANYMORE IT IS NOW BY KNOW ME I KNOW YOU. I REPEAT ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST LUCKY NOTHING ELSE

From the best of my knowledge she worked with the ministry of education for a very short period. Apart from that, she is a university graduate, that also means she's qualified to take-up that position given that the office of the perm sec can also be made through appointment.

So even if she wasn't promoted, she was appointed and there is nothing wrong with her appointment because she is qualified.
