Coalition Faults Allegations Against NEPC, Calls for Objective Assessment of Promotion Process



‎Says promotion exam yet to hold, urges critics to verify facts

‎Reaffirms commitment to institutional integrity and civil service compliance

‎A coalition of civil society organizations under the Civil Society Groups for Good Governance (CSGGG) has addressed recent allegations of favoritism in the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC)’s promotion exercise, describing the claims as speculative and lacking basis in fact.

‎Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja, the President of CSGGG, Comrade Ogakwu Dominic, clarified that the promotion process is still at the preparatory stage and no staff member has been promoted yet. He noted that the procedure followed aligns with civil service regulations, including approvals from the Office of the Head of Service and oversight by a multi-agency Senior Staff Committee.

‎According to Dominic, an official circular (ADM/CONF/SM/I/VOL.12/121) dated June 26, 2025, had communicated eligibility lists to all staff, maintaining transparency throughout the process. “It is misleading to suggest favoritism when the exams haven’t even been conducted,” he stated.

‎He further referenced the 2024 promotion exercise, where 49 out of 74 eligible candidates were promoted, commending the structured process that has been in place under the current leadership.

‎CSGGG urged stakeholders to allow the NEPC to carry out its duties without unnecessary distractions, while also calling on the public to uphold professionalism and fairness in public discourse.

‎The coalition reaffirmed its commitment to promoting transparency and good governance in all public institutions, adding that it will continue to monitor the NEPC and similar agencies to ensure compliance with established procedures.
