After the end of the civil war, a title that could be considered both descriptive and insulting was linked to a group of administrators. An editor of the Daily Times, Babatunde Jose tagged a group of administrators which included Damcida and others such as Yusuf Gobir, Ahmed Joda, Phillip Asiodu and Allison Ayide as 'super Permanent Secretaries'. Jose has criticized a move by the Yakubu Gowon led government to increase the salaries of some permanent secretaries whose performance impressed Gowon during a political crisis between 1966 and 1967 and the civil war between 1967 and 1970. Jose critiqued the increase as excessive after the country had just gone through a civil war and coined the term super permanent secretary for the beneficiaries of the salary increase.
