FG Directors To Enjoy 8-Year Tenure.-National Industrial Court Rules.

The National Industrial Court (NIC) has ruled that henceforth, directors in the employ of the federal civil service, who were notionally appointed as directors with no financial benefit, may not be retired until they compulsorily spend eight years on the post.

This follows the judgment of the Abuja division of the NIC presided over by Justice B. B. Kanyip in a suit No: NICN/ABJ/123/2011 brought before the court by Ambassador D.C.B Nwanna against the National Intelligence Agency and two others.

Prior to the judgement, some federal government establishments have started angling to force some directors in the federal civil service to retire before their actual exit date because they have been notionally promoted just so that they could maintain their seniority in service.
