No fewer than 150 federal civil service deputy directors, who
sat for promotion examinations, failed the test, it was learnt
yesterday.
Head of Service of the Federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita broke the
news at a quarterly meeting with organised labour, conducted by her
office in Abuja, on Wednesday.
Mrs. Oyo-Ita also announced that a court injunction on the
promotion of the 2014 batch of directors in the administration
cadre of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies has finally been
lifted.
She said the lifting of the injunction would enable the civil
service administrative positions, which were filled by officers in
acting capacity, to be filled by substantive directors.
“I am particularly delighted to inform you that the issue of
promotion for the 2014 batch of directors in the Administration
Cadre has been finally resolved.
“The lifting of the court injunction on this issue also led to
the conduct of examinations for 2015 – 2017 batch of directors in
the same cadre.
“Over 290 Deputy Directors sat for the examination out of which
only about 140 were successful. I am certain that going forward,
the civil service will ventilate itself and officers will be
rewarded for hard work.
“With this, we now have a solution to the issue of dearth of
Directors of Administration in MDAs. Departments, which were
hitherto manned by officers in acting capacity, would now be manned
by substantive directors,” she said.
Mrs. Oyo-Ita also addressed the issues of service delivery and a
conducive working environment for staff.
“The issue of a conducive working environment for staff that has
been raised by organised labour is very dear to my heart.
“To achieve this, I have set up a committee on office allocation
and expansion with a focus on maintenance, rehabilitation and
expansion of office allocations to MDAs,” Mrs. Oyo-Ita said.
