37 directors fail FG promotion exam – Report

Thirty-seven directors seeking to move up to the position of permanent secretary in the federal civil service have failed a promotional examination.

A report by The Punch showed that 37 out of 74 directors who took the examination failed.

The other 37 candidates who passed the examination had been invited for an ICT proficiency test on Thursday in Abuja.

The office of head of service said the highest score was 74 per cent while the least score was 26 per cent.

A circular with reference number HCSF/PS/CMO/154/I/70 issued by Olusola Idowu on behalf of the examination committee in the office of the head of civil service said the ICT test would take place at the National Intelligence Agency (NIA).

It stated, “The invited candidates are to note that the ICT proficiency test will take place on Thursday, February 24, 2022 by 8am at the Muhammadu Buhari Centre, National Intelligence Agency, Asokoro.”

The exercise was meant to fill vacancies for solicitor-general of the federation and permanent secretaries retiring in 2022.

The head of service had said those eligible to take the test must have attained the position of substantive directors on salary grade level 17 on or before January 1, 2020.
