However, NECO informed all its staff who are due for promotion this year that the exercise has been put on hold.
The House of Representatives, on Wednesday, mandated the Committees on Education, Examination Board and Basic Education to interface with NECO on its planned promotion examination for about 1,500 staff, given the security and economic situation of the country.
A member of the All Progressives Congress, Akeem Adeyemi, noted, that due to the security situation in the country and the economic hardship biting hard on the citizens including NECO staff members, it is perilous to cause about 1,500 staff to travel from different parts of the country to one place in the name of a promotion examination.
