Following the by-elections slated to hold in some parts of the state by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) tomorrow, Saturday 3rd February, 2024, the Enugu State government has announced postponement of the promotion examination scheduled for same day.

The Chairman of the State Civil Service Commission, Hon. Robinson Odo, who made the announcement on Friday in his Enugu office, said the interview exercise for workers due for promotion would be on the 10th of February 2024.

While regretting the postponement, the Chairman urged civil servants and other workers in the state to use the opportunity afforded them to exercise their franchise by voting for the right candidates that would align with the interest of the state by bringing good governance to the people.

“We have just postponed the Civil Service Commission Examination known as promotion examination for workers in Enugu State initially scheduled to hold tomorrow for two reasons; to allow the peaceful conduct of the by-elections in some parts of our state slated by the INEC, and to also afford workers the opportunity to exercise their franchise.

“The new date for the conduct of the promotion examination is now 10th February, 2024. That is coming Saturday. However, the interview exercise will continue as the date does not in anyway clash with the elections.

“I want to urge our workers to conduct themselves, steer clear of violence and vote for only the right candidates whose interests align with the overall interest of our people,” he added.
