President Tinubu Reinstates Finance Permanent Secretary Danjuma

President Tinubu reinstated Danjuma as the Finance Permanent Secretary, with the reinstatement effective from October 21, 2026. This decision was communicated by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Olumuyiwa Enitan Abel, in a letter dated October 22, 2026.

Danjuma had been suspended on August 21, 2026, along with two other permanent secretaries, due to a report from the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). The report investigated the activities of an alleged agency known as the National Brands Development and Made in Nigeria Special Project Office, which was reportedly promoted by George Buchi Nwabueze.

The ICPC's findings suggested possible involvement of public servants in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. Following a review, President Tinubu lifted Danjuma's suspension, allowing him to resume his official duties in accordance with the Public Service Rules and ethical standards governing the Federal Civil Service.
