About 2,932 senior civil servants in the federal civil service have been promoted by the Federal Government.
The Federal Government has approved the promotion of 2,932 senior civil servants in the federal civil service under the 2018 Directorate Level promotion exercise, according to a report by DailyTrust.
This is contained in a circular by the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) with reference no: FC.6243/GOV/2018/VOL.ll/341 dated 5th August, 2019 and titled,
“Promotion of Officers on SGL. 14 to 15, SGL. 15 to 16 and SGL.16 to 17 in the Federal Civil Service with effect from 01/01/2018”.
The circular was signed by the commission’s new Chairman, Dr. Tukur Bello Ingawa, who resumed duty in December 2018. Six months after the examinations were conducted.
The FCSC, which is the agency responsible for recruiting and promoting federal workers, conducted the promotion examination in July 2018 for both professional and administrative cadres in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) for them to be promoted to the next levels.
The delay of the promotion examination result had generated controversies among top civil servants, most of who said the delay was making them stagnant in their career progression in the work force.
The spokesperson of the FCSC, Mrs. Felicia Eniola Babaoye, had told Daily Trust in Abuja that the issues would soon be addressed and the management would soon come public on the outcome of the development.
According to details of the promotion pasted on the website of the commission, most of those promoted were officers in the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHoCSF).
