Out of the 85 directors initially invited to take the promotion test for the position of Permanent Secretary in the federal civil service, only 20 have successfully passed the examination.
The successful candidates will move on to the final stage, which includes an Information Communication Technology (ICT) test scheduled to take place in Abuja.
Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, confirmed this and mentioned that four of the invited candidates did not participate in the examination, presumably out of fear. She stressed the importance of meritocracy and integrity in the selection process, emphasizing that it should not be solely about the number of successful candidates but the quality of the individuals selected.
The announcement reflects the commitment to a fair and merit-based selection process, and President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to upholding these principles.
