The independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it's approved the promotion of 7,330 its workers who were successful in the promotion exercise conducted between August and November 2017.

According to a press release by Mr. Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, on Wednesday in Abuja, the number comprises of 4,917 senior and 2,413 junior officers.

He declared that the 4,917 senior workers represented 92.1 percent of a total of 5,335 employees (Grade Level 07-15) that were eligible to undertake the exercise.

Oyekanmi added that the commission had also endorsed the promotion of 2,413 eligible junior staff on Grade Level 03 – 06.

“However, some 326 individuals, constituting 6.1 percent failed or absconded from the examination, while 92 persons on interdiction, representing 1.7 percent could not write the test.”

He noted that successful officers had secured the mandatory pass mark of 60, which paved the way for their elevation.

“The Commission considers the regular promotion of staff as one of the surest ways of boosting staff morale and welfare in order to encourage their dedication, loyalty and improve productivity.

“It is also designed to motivate them to contribute positively to the Commission’s set goals and objectives.’’
