“We held some motivational chats with them to help them trust the system and comprehend all the efforts we have taken to make sure the procedure is highly ethical. We want them to understand that advancement now is determined by merit rather than connections.

“The assessment I received regarding the degree of preparedness attests to the fact that we are finally coming to terms with that reality; it’s about what you know, how capable you are, and how you can demonstrate the knowledge of the job. So that’s what should show up and what we count for each of these officers writing the examinations,” Adeniyi said.
