Cross River State Government Set To Conduct Aptitude Test For Commissioners

The Cross River State government have concluded plans to conduct aptitude and integrity test for all those nominated to serve as Commissioners, the first of its kind in Nigeria. 

According to a release on Monday by Mr. Christian Ita, the Special Assistant to Governor Ben Ayade on Media, the nominees would have to undergo the integrity and aptitude tests before their names would be forwarded to the state House of Assembly for confirmation.

The appointment of chairmen and members of boards, agencies and parastatals and even special advisers, Ita said, would not be different from the routine. 

The statement further noted that the Governor believes that every would-be appointee in the state must be subjected to ethical measurement to ascertain whether or not they can function in the new order, where accountability and transparency are the watchwords.
