Major Changes Hits Federal Health Ministry
The Federal Ministry of Health has directed the immediate disengagement of directors who have spent eight years or more in the directorate cadre.
The order takes effect at once and affects senior officials across its departments.
The decision was issued as part of an internal move within the ministry to enforce tenure rules guiding service at that level. Officials who have reached the eight year mark are to step aside without delay.
The action is expected to open up positions within the directorate and allow for new appointments in line with public service regulations.
It also signals a stricter approach to career progression and rotation in the health sector.
The ministry has not released further details on replacements, but the directive has already set the stage for changes in its leadership structure.
