“The promotion of junior staff concludes the first phase of the exercise. Next is the promotion of senior staff, which has also commenced in earnest,” he said.
Olumekun added that staff promotion is a routine exercise and reaffirmed the commission’s commitment to regular merit-based promotion and the welfare of its workforce. He urged the newly promoted staff and others to rededicate themselves to service, particularly in the discharge of election-related duties.
