She is a humble person.
She she is a humble individual and well deserving of this Post. However all the long overdue Acting Post needs to fix too.
Well deserved… Congrats Mrs. Igwe!
Congratulations Ms. Igwe! But tell me WHO in the government is not related to someone else in the government. That’s what happens when you are so h**l bent on not allowing outsiders/new blood in. H**l, you don’t even want the people born here to be here….Until the mentality changes not much will change in recovery or sustainability of the BVI’s. It is so sad that here as we are sinking that you still can’t see the problems.
IF David needs aunty Car Car to hold his hand and walk him through the process?
We all know with the looming upcoming events, there is going to be changes all across the public service.
Think for a minute people…. she’s not staying there…. she’s going over to PO soon.
And police officers acting for 3 and 4 years, still have to do written exam, go through a so called competency test and at the end of day some of them still don’t get promoted, inexperienced ones are promoted instead.
I know who you are. What experience are you talking about? They gave you the opportunity to prove yourself. Firth time you scored 8%. The second time you scored 5%.where in the world you expect to be promoted with these kind of score. I am the opinion that one must have a certain level of comprehension of the job you are called to be performed. I had the privilege to come across of one of your case files. I said if the victim only knew the level of ignorance manifested in this matter he would have sued the police department for …….
If I feel like having a malt man
Well say Ting to talk in 2019
