THE Presidency on Friday refuted a report that the Permanent Secretary, State House, Mr Jalal Arabi, has been suspended.
A statement signed by Abiodun Oladunjoye, Deputy Director (Information), said Arabi is not on suspension as erroneously reported in some quarters.
According to the statement, Arabi remained at his desk “dutifully attending to important state matters and is not under any probe, neither is he a subject of any enquiry”.
It added: “Also, there is absolutely no truth in the spurious allegations levelled against the Permanent Secretary and his office in the fictitious report published by an online medium.
The statement quoted the Permanent Secretary as saying: ‘I remain committed and dedicated to the professional discharge of my duties and I refuse to be distracted by adversarial forces’.
The Permanent Secretary and other Muslim faithful attended the Juma’at prayer at the State House mosque this afternoon with President Muhammadu Buhari in attendance.
