    The statement also disclosed several other appointments across various regions and geopolitical zones. The appointments were made in accordance with Section 154 of the Nigerian Constitution (1999, Amended), which empowers the President to appoint the Chairman and members of the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC).

    The appointed individuals are as follows:

    1. Prof. Tunji Olaopa — Chairman
    2. Dr. Daudu Ibrahim Jalo — Member (Representing Adamawa | Gombe | Taraba)
    3. Ms. Gekpe Grace Isu — Member (Representing Akwa Ibom | Cross River)

    12. Dr. Festus Oyebade — Member (Representing Osun | Oyo)

    The new FCSC leadership will assume their roles upon confirmation and will officially commence their duties on November 30, 2023, following the conclusion of the current Federal Civil Service Commission Chairman and members’ tenure on November 29, 2023.

    The President has high expectations for the new FCSC leadership, anticipating that they will skillfully drive the transformation, reorientation, and digitalization of the Federal Bureaucracy. This initiative aims to foster growth and encourage increased private sector involvement in the development of the Nigerian economy while aligning with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the administration.
