WAEC - Government (2008 - No. 32)
Anonymity in the civil service means that an officer
should work without complaint
should not be heard or seen
does not take praise or blame for his performance
remains in office indefinitely
Paliwanag
The anonymity of the civil service is linked to two concepts: permanence and neutrality. Their job is permanent till retirement or death and they are meant to be neutral in dealing with each government.
