==2025 suspension and legal challenge==

In January 2025, Onafeko was suspended indefinitely by the [[Lagos State House of Assembly]] amid a political crisis that followed the removal of Speaker [[Mudashiru Obasa]].&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news |title=With security escorts, Obasa storms House, declares self Speaker |url=https://www.thisdaylive.com/2025/02/28/with-security-escorts-obasa-storms-house-declares-self-speaker-45-days-after-removal/ |newspaper=[[This Day]]|access-date=16 December 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Following the suspension, he instituted legal proceedings at the [[National Industrial Court of Nigeria]], challenging the legality of the decision and seeking to restrain the appointment of an acting clerk.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news |title=Ottun flays suspended clerk on misrepresentation of court verdict |url=https://nationaldailyng.com/ottun-flays-suspended-clerk-on-misrepresentation-of-court-verdict/ |location=Lagos, Nigeria|newspaper=National Daily|access-date=16 December 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |title=Court orders reinstatement of suspended Lagos Assembly clerk Olalekan Onafeko |url=https://federalcharacter.com/court-orders-reinstatement-of-suspended-lagos-assembly-clerk-olalekan-onafeko/ |website=Federal Character |access-date=16 December 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;

In February 2025, the court ordered that the status quo be maintained pending the determination of the suit, effectively allowing Onafeko to resume his official functions.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news |title=Court orders reinstatement of Lagos Assembly clerk loyal to Obasa |first=Ambali |last=Abdulkabeer |url=https://gazettengr.com/court-orders-reinstatement-of-lagos-assembly-clerk-loyal-to-obasa/ |location=Abuja, Nigeria|newspaper=[[Peoples Gazette]]|date=February 24, 2025 |access-date=16 December 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |title=Suspended Lagos Assembly clerk Onafeko resurfaces |url=https://www.tori.ng/news/296421/suspended-lagos-assembly-clerk-onafeko-resurfaces.html |website=Tori News |access-date=16 December 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;
His return to duty generated mixed reactions within the Assembly with lawmakers expressing differing views on the implications of the court ruling for legislative administration.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news |title=Lagos Assembly condemns Onafeko's actions |url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2025/02/lagos-assembly-condemns-suspended-clerk-onafekos-actions/ |location=Lagos, Nigeria|newspaper=[[Vanguard (Nigeria)|Vanguard]]|access-date=16 December 2025}}&lt;/ref&gt;

==Head of the civil service==
Stephen Oronsaye was appointed Head of the Nigerian Civil Service in June 2009.&lt;ref name=pbbio/&gt;
Soon after his appointment, Stephen Oronsaye and Ahmed Al-Gazali, chairman of the [[Civil Service Commission of Nigeria|Federal Civil Service Commission]], established a new tenure policy limiting the terms of permanent secretaries and directors to eight years. As a result, nine permanent secretaries were forced to retire in October 2009, and many directors were expected to retire by January 2010.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web

In November 2009, Stephen Oronsaye told the newly appointed permanent secretaries that they would be subject to continuous assessment, and their tenure could be terminated at any time for poor performance.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web

However, he reasserted that the compulsory retirement age for civil servants would remain the earlier of 60 years of age or 35 years of pensionable service.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news

Following a move by the Central Bank of Nigeria to sack the boards of five banks and publish a list of debtors of those banks, in August 2009 Stephen Oronsaye directed Permanent Secretaries to prevent ministries, departments and agencies from withdrawing funds or closing accounts in these banks.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web

Earlier that month Stephen Oronsaye had announced a major reshuffle where almost half of the Permanent Secretaries were assigned to new departments.&lt;ref&gt;

In November 2009, he directed that TV sets be removed from all Civil Service offices, on the basis that viewing television during office hours lowers productivity.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news
