…fixes February 10 as new date
Following the by-elections slated to hold in some parts of the state by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Saturday, 3rd February, 2024, the Enugu State government has postponed the promotion examination scheduled for the same day.
The Chairman of the State Civil Service Commission, Mr. Robinson Odo mni, made the announcement on Friday in his office in Enugu. According to him, the said interview exercise for workers due for promotion would however continue as the date does not clash with the by-elections.
The Chairman further said that the new date for the examination shall now be on Saturday, 10th February.
While regretting the postponement, he urged civil servants and other workers in the state to use the opportunity to exercise their franchise by voting for the right candidates that would align with the interest of the state to bring good governance to the people.
“We have just postponed the Civil Service Commission Examination known as promotion examination for workers in Enugu State initially scheduled to hold tomorrow for two reasons; to allow the peaceful conduct of the bye-elections in some parts of our state slated by the INEC, and to also afford workers the opportunity to exercise their franchise.
“The new date for the conduct of the promotion examination is now 10th February, 2024. That is Saturday. However, the interview exercise will continue as the date does not in anyway clash with the elections.
“I want to urge our workers to conduct themselves, steer clear of violence and vote for only the right candidates whose interests align with the overall interest of our people,” he added.
