Mr Gabriel Aduda has assumed duty as the new Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development.
At a brief hand-over ceremony, the outgoing Permanent Secretary, Mr Olusade Adesola, enjoined Aduda to take the ministry to the next level in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s vision.
He commended the directors and staff of the ministry for the modest achievements recorded in pursuit of policies and programmes for national growth and development.
He pledged to continue from where Adesola stopped while working with staff and stakeholders to reposition the ministry in line with international best practices.
Aduda was recently re-deployed from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGFA) to the ministry while Adesola moved to the Niger Delta Affairs Ministry
