The immediate promotion of State government officials who are qualified has been granted by Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma.
This is to keep his pledges to modernize the civil service and speed up promotions.
The decision was issued by the Governor on Wednesday, November 23, 2022, at the Imo State Executive Council Meeting, which he presided over.
Declan Mbadiwe Emelumba, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, told journalists that “in line with the Governor’s promise to look into the promotion arrears of Civil and Public Servants in Imo State when he announced the Health Insurance Policy for Imo workers, he has graciously approved immediate promotions of the Civil and Public Servants to clear the arrears/backlog that have existed since 8-10 years.”
He went on to say that the promotions are effective immediately.
