CSC Opens Applications for Permanent Secretary of Merged Tourism and Environment Ministry

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has announced the recruitment process for the Permanent Secretary of the newly merged Ministry of Tourism and Environment.

The decision follows last week’s dismissal of former Tourism Minister Ibrahim Faisal and the subsequent merger of the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Tourism into a single entity. President Mohamed Muizzu appointed Thoriq Ibrahim, who previously served as Environment Minister, as the minister overseeing the newly combined ministry.
