ASCSN blames FG for aborted promotion exam for civil servants

The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) has expressed shock and disbelief over the canceled promotion exam for civil servants in the Directorate Cadre.

Secretary General of the ASCSN, Comrade Alade Bashir Lawal,  said the association and the workers were alarmed by the cancellation of promotion interview organised by the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) for members of the union in the Directorate Cadre in Abuja.

The association, therefore, demanded that the officers affected should be adequately compensated in order to avert industrial crisis.

Comrade Lawal regretted that hundreds of Senior Civil Servants in the Directorate Cadre were summoned from different parts of the country for promotion examination fixed for 25th to 28th June, 2018 in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory; only for the examination to be cancelled when they had completed accreditation.

“It is indeed sad that Senior Civil Servants were made to risk their lives, paid their transport and accommodation in Abuja, arrived at the venue of the promotion examination only for the exercise to be cancelled.

“This type of action tends to create the impression in the minds of the general public that some top Government officials are sadists who take delight in inflicting sorrow on innocent Civil Servants.”

 

He wondered while an agency of government should take months to plan for promotion interview for high ranking civil servants, summoned them to Abuja and casually announced that the exercise had been postponed due to “unforeseen circumstances”.
