President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Prof. Tunji Olaopa as Chairman of the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC), subject to the confirmation of the Nigerian Senate.
He also appointed 11 others to direct the affairs of the country’s civil service.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.
