The meeting addressed key electoral preparations and approved promotions for 471 junior staff members.
Mr. Sam Olumekun, INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, stated that the meeting reviewed preparations for the upcoming Anambra State governorship election, the Area Council election in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and party primaries for the governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun States.
The commission approved the promotion of 471 junior staff (GL 03-06) based on the recommendations of the Appointment, Promotion and Disciplinary Committee (APDC). Of the 515 staff shortlisted, 214 were promoted to GL07, 134 to GL06, 106 to GL05, and 17 to GL04.
