The Enugu State government has approved that the promotion for workers of Local Government Service Commission due since 2014 be released.
The state’s commissioner for information, Dr. Godwin Udeuhele, disclosed this to journalists after the State Executive Council meeting held at Government House, Enugu.
Udeuhele stated that the Council also directed the commission to release the list for the interview already conducted with effect from May 1, and organize promotion interview for 2015.
He said, “the total numbers of those promotions due to be released for 2014 is 1,442 while that of 2015 is 1,590. Those numbers are distributed with different cadres in all the local governments areas of the state”.
Equally approved was an administrative panel of inquiry set up by the commissioner for chieftaincy matters to ascertain the culpability of a traditional ruler in the crises arising from a boundary dispute between Ugwuaji and Obeagu Ugwuaji autonomous communities, all in Enugu South Local Government Area, and his alleged frustrating of Enugu State Government Boundary Committee’s peace efforts.
The commissioner said the Council also approved the launch of the Neighbourhood Watch Trust Fund, as well as the presentation of security equipment and vehicles procured with the N100m donated by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to all registered Neighbourhood Associations in the state on May 25 at Michael Okpara Square, Enugu.
