President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has sworn in five newly appointed permanent secretaries alongside the Chairman of the National Population Commission (NPC), Dr. Aminu Yusuf, during Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the State House, Abuja. Two NPC Board Members, Dr. Joseph Haruna Kigbu and Tonga Betara Bulatafa, also took the oath of office.

The newly sworn-in permanent secretaries are Dr. John Chidiebere Ezeamama (Imo), Ibrahim Abdulkarim Ozi (Nasarawa), Dr. Abdul Sule Usman Garba (North Central), Dr. Ishiyaku Musa Mohammed (North East), and Dr. Binyerem Chigbonwu Ukaire (South East). Each brings decades of professional and administrative experience from the Federal Civil Service, spanning medicine, veterinary practice, accounting, and public health.

Their profiles reflect extensive training and service across key government institutions, including the State House Medical Centre, the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, and the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS). NPC Chairman Dr. Yusuf, a seasoned scholar with qualifications in biology, diplomacy, and international relations, also brings a wealth of expertise to the Commission.
