Dhaka, Feb. 24 -- The government has appointed retired secretary Monjur Morshed Chowdhury as the secretary at the Ministry of Home Affairs on a one-year contract.

The Ministry of Public Administration issued a notification on Tuesday stating that the appointment was made under Section 49 of the Government Service Act, 2018.

The post had been vacant for nearly a week since Nasimul Ghani, the former home secretary, was named the cabinet secretary.

Ghani's appointment to the top civil service post was announced on Feb 16, shortly before the BNP-led government officially took office.
