Hence, in line with the Board’s resolve, the Commission’s executive arm has effected the reposting of pool officers back to their respective Ministries, Departments and Agencies with immediate effect. Accordingly, the affected officers were issued with letters on Thursday, 4th September 2025.

The Board’s decision was taken primarily to eliminate redundancy and reposition the Commission for enhanced, effective and efficient service delivery. This step was also taken to motivate staff towards higher performance.

To support the ongoing reforms, the Board approved the promotion of some deserving officers. It also approved Capacity Building Programs for the entire staff aimed at equipping employees with requisite skills to achieve the organisational objectives of the Commission.
