Promotion not rights for civil servants – FCSC

The chairman, Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) Deaconess Joan Ayo has declared that promotion for civil servants was not a right but a privilege.

She said that since 2012 when she assume office, the commission made commitment to discharge its constitutional mandate to adhere strictly to rules and regulations guiding and that it has ensure that promotions are conducted as at when due.
