Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose has approved promotion of 9,583 public servants.
6,993 of them are teaching and non-teaching staff of various public secondary schools, while 2,590 are local government staff.
Chairman of the State Teaching Service Commission, Chief Abiodun Falayi, in a statement noted that 3,963 teachers and 1,586 non-teaching staff were promoted.
Falayi said that the Fayose-led administration inherited “abnormalities in cadres, unharmonized structure as well as inaccurate nominal roll and seniority list”.
Falayi said that all complaints lodged by affected workers were considered and rectified in the course of the exercise.
He explained that all issues relating to adjustment of inter-cadre transfer and conversion had also been settled.
“The interview process was decentralized into six zones for administrative convenience and to ensure that it did not unduly interfere with academic activities in schools where they were conducted.
“The promotion was conducted to motivate workers as well as engender efficiency and effectiveness within the public service”, the statement added.
