No fewer than 19 Directors have moved to the next stage in the selection process for the position of permanent secretary.
The Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation said 38 eligible Directors were involved in the process but only the 19 made it to the next stage in the rigorous three-step selection process, which also involved written exam on Monday, November 11, 2024.
This was contained in a statement by Head of Information and Public Relations, Mrs. Eno Olotu, (OHCSF) on Tuesday in Abuja.
According to the statement: “19 of the 38 eligible Directors who sat for the examinations, have scaled through this first stage and would be participating in the second stage, which will test their competence in the use of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) in conducting government business, on Wednesday 13th November, 2024.
“This three staged exercise follows the established tradition of a transparent and rigorous process, deliberately made so to ensure the very best among the candidates are appointed.
“Successful candidates would then proceed to the final stage to appear before a carefully constituted panel of top bureaucrats and representatives of the organised private sector, on Friday 15th November, 2024.
“This process would culminate in Mr. President’s appointment from the best candidates representing the eight States of Abia, Bayelsa, Ebonyi, Enugu, Gombe, Kaduna, Kebbi and Rivers – where vacancies exist.”
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation congratulated all 38 participants and thanked the public for its support in fostering a culture of excellence and integrity in the civil service.
