The Federal Government has implemented the revised Public Service Rules, 2021, which may force 512 civil service directors who have spent eight years on the directorate cadre out of service. The new rules introduce a tenure policy for permanent secretaries, requiring four years of renewable office, subject to performance. The mandatory retirement age for all grades is 60 years or 35 years of pensionable service, and no officer can remain in service after reaching this age.
