The Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC) has promoted four deputy directors to directors, while 17 officers were promoted in various grades.
According to a statement issued by the commission’s head of media, Celestine Toruka, this was contained in a circular released on November 22, 2019, by the assistant director of administration, Mr. Nkaiso Edemenang, on behalf of the acting executive secretary, Mrs. Esther Kwaghe.
It added that the promotion took effect from January 1, this year.
The circular, according to the statement, read in part: “The newly promoted directors and other officers were those who emerged successfully in a recent credible and highly competitive examination validly conducted by the Commission in collaboration with the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC); Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF); as well as the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHOCSF), in line with extant rules and regulations.
“It is, therefore, instructive to state that the four-brand new set of directors are the first ever to attain this height in the history of the commission, considering the fact that NCPC is still a young organisation which was established in 2007 by an Act of the National Assembly.”
It further stated that the “new directors are Mr. Peter Okhuleigbe, FCA, Mr. Barnabas Ali, Barrister Sonny Ebiyaibo, and Rev. Amos Yohanna.”
The statement also indicated that the released promotion list showed that 21 senior officers were promoted while a staff was converted and upgraded to the executive officers cadre.
“Certainly, this promotion will no doubt galvanise the newly elevated directors and officers to put in their best for the commission as this would definitely boost the morale of the affected officers.”
