A statement signed by Eno Olotu, Head, Information and Public Relations, revealed that 19 of the 38 eligible Directors who sat for the examinations, scaled through the first stage and would be participating in the second stage, which will test their competence in the use of Information Communication and Technology (ICT), in conducting government business, today, Wednesday 13th November, 2024. This three staged exercise follows the established tradition of a transparent and rigorous process, deliberately made so to ensure the very best among the candidates are appointed.
