The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it has approved the promotion of 7,330 its staff who passed the promotion exercise conducted between August and November 2017.

According to a statement by Rotimi Oyekanmi, the chief press secretary to the INEC chairman, on Wednesday in Abuja, the number comprises of 4,917 senior and 2,413 junior officers.

He stated that the 4,917 senior officers represent 92.1 percent of a total of 5,335 officers (Grade Level 07-15) that were eligible to take the exercise.

Oyekanmi added that the Commission has 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 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.’’
