Our
first lady yesterday became the first First Lady of
Nigeria to be appointed Permanent Secretary in a State civil service.
Mrs Jonathan and 17 others were
appointed Perm Sec in the state civil service by the governor of Bayelsa
State, Governor Seriake Dickson. The announcement was broadcast on the
state radio station yesterday evening Wednesday July 11th.
Explaining their reason for the
appointment, the senior special assistant to the governor on media
affairs, Mr. Daniel Iworiso-Markson, said that the First Lady was a
teacher in the state’s civil service and has been on leave of absence
since 1999 to join her husband in his political service; first as a
deputy governor, governor, vice president, then president. If not for
the leave of absence, according to him, Mrs Jonathan would have risen
to the status of a permanent secretary by now.
