The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has taken the decision to retire four of its directors.
The INEC National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, said this in a statement on Wednesday .
Olumekun said the directive stems from the Federal Government Circular HSCF/SPSO/268/T3/2/37 issued on 27th July 2023, wherein the Commission approved the implementation of a policy necessitating the retirement of directors with eight years or more of service in the public sector.
He added that as a result of this policy, four directors of the Commission are set to proceed on terminal leave.
He said among them, two hold the positions of Heads of Departments at the National Headquarters, while the remaining two are deployed as Administrative Secretaries in INEC’s State offices.
According to him, it is noteworthy that Clinical Officers in the medical cadre are exempt from this policy, as clarified in Circular MH. 7205/T/31 dated 7th September 2023.
He said the Commission expressed its well-wishes to the affected directors as they retire from their service to the nation
