Junior civil servants in the Federal Government service risk dismissal if they fail their mandatory promotion examination three times consecutively.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

News reports that the policy was outlined in a new circular issued by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation. The directive was signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Career Management Office, Dr Binyerem Ukaira, on behalf of the Head of Service, Didi Walson-Jack.

The measure is part of broader efforts to strengthen discipline, efficiency, and productivity within the public service.

Under the new arrangement, success in the confirmation or promotion examination will no longer be limited to career advancement alone but will also determine continued employment. Any officer who fails the exam three times in a row will be asked to exit the service.

The directive further states that workers who fail to sit for the confirmation examination within three years of appointment will also be removed from service.

According to the government, the policy is backed by existing Public Service Rules and applies across all ministries, departments, and agencies, which have been instructed to ensure strict compliance.

The 2026 Confirmation and Promotion Examination (COMPRO) will be conducted as a computer-based test and will cover officers on salary Grade Levels 01 to 06.

Authorities explained that the exam is designed to assess the competence, knowledge, and readiness of employees before confirmation or promotion.

Registration for the examination has commenced online, with eligible candidates expected to apply through their respective MDAs. Only officers who have served for at least six months and are duly nominated will be allowed to participate.

Applicants are required to provide accurate personal details and complete all registration procedures, as failure to meet accreditation requirements will result in disqualification.

The examination will cover subjects including English Language, Public Service Rules, Financial Regulations, General Paper, and Computer Literacy.

The COMPRO test has long been part of Nigeria’s civil service framework, although enforcement of its provisions has historically been inconsistent.

Born in Montreal on July 28, 1941, to American parents, Cullen graduated from the National Theatre School of Canada in 1963 before cutting his teeth on Shakespearean performances in Stratford and acting at Toronto’s Crest Theatre. Over a prolific career spanning television, film, video games, and theme parks, he voiced a diverse array of memorable characters, including the giant ape in the 1976 King Kong remake, the villainous vehicle KARR in Knight Rider, and the alien hunter in the original Predator movie.

However, Cullen left an indelible mark on animation and children’s media during the 1980s and 1990s. He originated the definitive voice of Optimus Prime in the original “Generation 1” series and The Transformers: The Movie (1986), a role he triumphantly reprised when the franchise shifted to live-action under Michael Bay in 2007, continuing through subsequent sequels up to Bumblebee (2018) and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023). Beyond the Autobot leader, generations of children also knew him as the voice of Eeyore in Disney’s Winnie the Pooh franchise, a role he inhabited across multiple series and films starting in the late 1980s.

Recognized for his immense contributions to the industry, Cullen earned a Daytime Emmy nomination in 2011 for Transformers: Prime and received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Children’s and Family Emmy Awards in 2023. According to the Associated Press, he is survived by his four children: Angus, Claire, Pilar, and Clay.

Justice Akintayo Aluko of the Federal High Court in Lagos has sentenced Megwalu Chukwudi Bob-Manuel, a businessman and the CEO/Director of G Care Pharm Limited, to four years in prison following his guilty plea to a two-count charge involving the unlawful procurement and exportation of 8.30 kilograms of Raphnol, a psychotropic substance under international control.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The prosecution, led by Arit N Okon, established that the offenses occurred on July 24, 2026, at the NAHCO Export Shed within the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos. During a cargo examination of a consignment destined for Nairobi, Kenya, Bob-Manuel was found to have attempted the export himself while also enlisting Justina of Tina Travels Service Limited and Anosie Ebube of Fair Express to facilitate the shipment. These actions violated Section 21(2)(c) and Section 11(b) of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Act, Cap N30, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.

Following the admission of guilt, the prosecution reviewed the facts and tendered relevant exhibits. In defense, the convict’s legal counsel, Chief Benson Ndakara (assisted by Kate Igbo), asked the court for leniency, noting that Bob-Manuel was a first-time offender with no prior criminal record who saved judicial time, and requested a non-custodial fine option instead of imprisonment.

Taking the arguments, the quantity of the drug, and mitigation factors into account, Justice Aluko sentenced Bob-Manuel to four years on each count, with the terms ordered to run concurrently from the date of his arrest. Additionally, the judge granted a fine option of ₦1 million in lieu of the jail term.
