Many of the directors affected by the revised Public Service Rule (PSR) 2021 are refusing to exit the civil service in contravention of a directive by the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Folashade Yemi-Esan, THE WHISTLER can report.

The revised PSR 020909 stipulates that, “A Director or its equivalent by whatever nomenclature it is described in MDAs shall compulsorily retire upon serving eight years on Tenure Policy on the post; and a Permanent Secretary shall hold office for a term of four years and renewable for a further term of four years, subject to satisfactory performance and no more.”
