A question of L.G. Kovács, Joachim Neubüser, B.H. Neumann (J. Austral. Math. Soc. 12 (1971), 287–300) on the existence of ‘secretive’ prime-power groups of large rank is settled affirmatively by proving the following result: given a prime p and integer d ≥ 2, there exists a finite p–group P with cyclic centre and minimal number of generators d and having the property that every element not in its Frattini subgroup has a non-trivial power in its centre.
