The attention of the Head of Service, Cross River State, has been drawn with dismay to a preposterous publication on Social Media titled, ‘Red Alert’ on the on-going promotion exercise in the state alleging corrupt act by an unnamed “Director” in the Civil Service Commission.
2. The Cross River State Government dissociates itself from any such untoward practice and warns all those in its employ, their relatives and agents to desist forthwith from paying money or gratification to any Government official for promotion purposes.
3. It is important and instructive to state categorically that, any promotion that does not follow due process and recommendation from the MDA or/and Senior Staff Management Committee (SSMC)of the relevant MDA and duly authenticated by the Chairman, Civil Service Commission as well as meets the required maturity period for promotion in accordance with the Public Service Rules and extant Government Circulars will be rejected by the office of the Head of Service.
4. All Civil/Public Servants are enjoined to note and be guided accordingly.
5. This is for strict and immediate compliance, please.
Dr. Innocent E. Eteng
Head of Service
