Minister directs exams for Immigration, NSCDC, others be conducted in States, to forestall overcrowding
The Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has given a directive to the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Service Board to conduct the subsequent promotion examinations of its officers in their States of operation.
The directive was revealed via a signed statement by Afonja Ajibola, the Deputy Director of Press, Ministry of Interior on Tuesday.
This came following a visit of inspection by the Minister to the examination centre in Abuja, the country capital.
As the statement captured, the minister cited the overcrowded examination centres could underestimate the credibility of an exam.
The statement reads in part: “Aregbesola observed that examination in such a crowded environment does not give the needed integrity the exams should have.
“He, therefore, ordered the Secretary of the Board, Hajiya Aisha Rufa’i, to henceforth conduct promotion examinations in various States of the Federation.
“The Minister added that since there are CBT centres across the States that could be used for the examination, it would go a long way in providing seamless conduct of the examinations in the respective States”.
