The Ebonyi State Civil Service Commission has begun the screening of airport staff who have completed a two-year probation period, a process that has elicited broad approval among employees.
Addressing officers at the commission’s office at Centenary City, Abakaliki, Chairperson of the commission, Mrs. Virginia Oketa, commended Governor Francis Nwifuru for his focus on employment and staff welfare, noting the recent addition of N20,000 to workers’ salaries.
Mrs. Oketa reminded them to present original certificates for verification, warning that statements of results would not be accepted.
She said the probation period is intended to assess loyalty and performance, adding that appointments remain provisional until confirmed.
This is contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Head, Information Department, Obinna E. I. and made available to journalists in Abakaliki.
