Organised Labour in Benue State has formally requested the immediate release of the supplementary staff promotion examination results for 2024, 2025, and 2026 from the Benue State Public Service Institute (BPSI).
In a strongly worded letter addressed to the Director-General of the institute, labour leaders expressed concern over the prolonged delay in releasing the results, noting that the promotion interviews were conducted between March 11 and March 16, 2026 — over two months ago.
The letter highlighted the anxiety and stress the delay has caused civil servants who participated in the exercise, describing the situation as worrisome and questionable. It further noted that while such promotions are often notional without immediate financial benefits, keeping workers in limbo is unacceptable.
The labour unions warned that further delay could threaten industrial harmony in the state and urged the institute to release the results without further postponement.
The letter was jointly signed by:
– Comrade Terungwa Igbe, State Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Benue State Council
– Comrade Gideon Aka, State Chairman, Trade Union Congress (TUC), Benue State Council
– Comrade Aloysius Umaja, State Chairman, Joint Public Service Negotiation Council (JPSNC), Benue State Council
Civil servants across the state are now awaiting the outcome of this demand as tension continues to build over the delayed promotions.
