Accountability Watchdog Seeks Cancellation Of Perm Sec Promotion Exams

President Bola Tinubu has been urged to immediately ‘cancel and review’ the recently conducted promotion exams from directorship cadre to permanent secretary over controversies and irregularities.

A civil society organisation, Centre for Public Accountability (CPA) raised the alarm in a statement yesterday signed by its convener, Femi Lawson at the end of an extended executive meeting in Abuja.

The accountability watchdog said it is calling for total cancellation of the entire process after keenly following the recently concluded promotion exams from directorship cadre to permanent secretary and having seen it was marred with controversies, interest, and underhand dealings.

The group said that most of the qualified directors had expressed lack of confidence, bias, non-transparency, and no trust in the Examiner Committee which was set up by the Head of Service.
