The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has ordered four of its directors to proceed on terminal leave.
According to a statement by Sam Olumekun, National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee the directive is inline with the federal government circular issued on 27th July 2023 directing
all Directors with eight years or more of service to retire from the public sector.
Though the names of the affected directors were not mentioned, the statement indicated that two of them served as Heads of Departments at the National Headquarters, while the others served as Administrative Secretaries in the State offices.
Olumekun however cleared that those in the medical cadre were exempted from the policy.
