Tinubu restores Mohammed Danjuma to Permanent Secretary Position

President Bola Tinubu has recalled Mohammed Danjuma, who is the Permanent Secretary at the Finance (Special Duties) Department, after having been suspended before due to investigations concerning the activities of the supposed government agency.

Olumuyiwa Abel, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, sent a letter dated October 22, 2026, confirming the decision of the President.

According to the letter, Danjuma’s reinstatement took effect from October 21, 2026.

It stated that Danjuma was suspended on August 21, 2026, alongside two other permanent secretaries, following a report by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission on the activities of an organisation known as the National Brands Development and Made in Nigeria Special Project Office.

The organisation was allegedly promoted by George Buchi Nwabueze, with suspected involvement of some public servants in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

“Following due diligence, Tinubu approved the lifting of Danjuma’s suspension and directed him to resume his duties in accordance with the Public Service Rules, relevant regulations and ethical standards of the Federal Civil Service.

“His reinstatement takes effect from October 21, 2026,” the letter read in parts.
