Ebonyi: Drama as Perm Sec hopefuls fail to recite Nigeria anthem
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the oral interview which came after a written test was supervised by Gov. David Umahi and his Deputy Mr Kelechi Igwe, who was the chairman of the interview committee.
Two of the permanent secretary hopefuls, who are top civil servants, failed to recite the national anthem while another two could not recite the states in Nigeria and their capitals. An amused Umahi jokingly told one of the interviewees to ask her children at home to teach her how to recite the states and their capitals.
“The appointment of new permanent secretaries will be based on their performances in the exercise as my administration is poised toward reforming the state’s civil service,” he said.
