Kogi: 60 Directors Vie for 12 Permanent Secretary Positions.
No fewer than 60 senior directors have been shortlisted to compete for 12 Permanent Secretary positions in the Kogi State Civil Service. These directors are scheduled to take an examination, with the top performers expected to fill the vacancies.
Mr. Elijah Evinemi, the Kogi State Head of Civil Service, disclosed this information while addressing newsmen at the examination center in Lokoja on Wednesday. He emphasized that the examination process would be fair, transparent, and credible, ensuring that only the most qualified candidates are selected.
Evinemi noted that this initiative is part of Governor Usman Ododo’s efforts to promote quality service delivery and ensure credible Civil Service reform for optimal productivity. The selection process aims to elevate the standard of public service in the state by filling key positions with capable and competent individuals.
The directors competing for the Permanent Secretary positions come from the 12 Local Government Areas where the vacancies exist. To ensure a thorough and unbiased selection process, the Public Service Institute of Nigeria (PSIN) has been engaged to handle the examination and the preceding training sessions.
The exercise will include two days of lectures and training, designed to prepare the directors for the examination. Evinemi commended the PSIN management for organizing a well-structured training program, facilitated by highly experienced resource persons. This comprehensive approach aims to equip the directors with the necessary knowledge and skills to excel in their roles as Permanent Secretaries.
Evinemi reiterated the government’s commitment to civil service reform and quality service delivery, highlighting that this initiative is a significant step towards achieving these goals. The transparent and rigorous selection process underscores the administration’s dedication to fostering a competent and efficient civil service in Kogi State.
