Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno directs the immediate issuance of appointment letters to 4,000 successful civil service applicants, following a recent recruitment exercise. The directive is intended to complete the appointment process for candidates selected through the exercise.

According to the reports, the recruitment draws from a large pool of applicants and is described as transparent. One outlet also adds that, alongside the 4,000 civil service appointment letters, the governor approves 2,000 teaching positions. The outlets largely align on the number of civil service appointments and the governor’s instruction, while differing slightly on the broader breakdown of appointments included in the overall decision.
