Cross River governor suspends recruitments, orders re-verification of civil servants

Governor Bassey Otu has ordered the suspension of recruitment into Cross River’s civil service.
On Tuesday, his chief press secretary, Emmanuel Ogbeche, stated that the governor also called for a comprehensive re-verification of civil servants.
In addition, the governor ordered the revalidation of all promotions pronounced in the last six months.
The governor noted that these were part of the plan to reposition the civil service.
“This is in line with the Cross River government’s desire to reposition the state civil service to meet modern-day service delivery objectives. It will also enable the government to plan effectively for the overall good of hardworking civil servants,” stated the governor.
Mr Otu added, “All civil servants must subject themselves to screening and documentation at the office of the secretary to the state government at a date to be announced.”
