Directors in ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) of the Federal Civil Service have reportedly defy the Federal Government’s directive which mandates them to go on compulsory retirement.
The directors, who have spent eight years at their positions, were reportedly given the directive on July 27, 2023.
However, reports emerged that the no fewer than 500 directors affected by the new rule are yet to comply.
According to the report, the new stipulation that such affected directors should give way followed the revised Public Service Rule (PSR) and circular issued by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folashade Yemi-Esan, last month to heads of MDAs, directing them to ensure compliance with the new rule and the revised PSR.
The revised PSR was unveiled last month at a public service lecture held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. According to the Head of Service, its implementation kicked off immediately with the launch.
