Tinubu Reinstates Danjuma as Finance Permanent Secretary

President Bola Tinubu approved the reinstatement of Mohammed Danjuma as Permanent Secretary, Finance (Special Duties), effective October 21, 2026. This decision follows Danjuma's suspension on August 21, 2026, due to an investigation by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission concerning the National Brands Development and Made in Nigeria Special Project Office.

The suspension was part of a broader action involving two other permanent secretaries, prompted by concerns about the agency's activities and alleged involvement of public officials. The letter confirming Danjuma's reinstatement, dated October 22, 2026, was issued by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Olumuyiwa Abel.

It did not provide details on the specific allegations against Danjuma or the status of the investigation into the agency. The letter also left unclear the status of the other two suspended permanent secretaries.
