In a statement, they said efforts to secure the release of the six directors were in earnest urging colleagues and family members not to panic.

“We have always advised the Federal Civil Service Commission to conduct promotion examinations in the states instead of compelling public service employees to travel long distances to Abuja,” the statement added.

“The current security situation and deplorable road conditions expose workers to grave risks.”

It said the government should also decentralise all promotion and verification exercises henceforth, as a way of averting risks to lives.
