Tinubu swears in Enitan as New Head of Civil Service

The president of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, has recently sworn-in Abel Enitan as the new Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.

This came after the departure of his former counterpart Didi Walson-Jack from the Federal Civil Service due to reaching his statutory retirement age of 60.

Recall that Tinubu had appointed Enitan as the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, effective August 27, 2026.

He has served as Permanent Secretary for seven years and seven months, working at the Ministry of Police Affairs, the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and the Office of the Vice President.

Prior to his appointment, the new head of the Civil Service of the Federation was the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Education.
