Federal Government Open Online Portal for Recruitment into Federal Civil Service
The Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) has said an online portal will be opened for recruitment into the Federal Civil Service.
FCSC’s Chairman, Tunji Olaopa, disclosed this at the maiden edition of the commission’s monthly seminar series held in Abuja
The Commission, according to Olaopa, will roll out an online recruitment portal that will be accessible to all Nigerians and which will allow eligible candidates to pre-fill recruitment forms and update them from time to time in preparation for the placement of adverts for recruitment into the public service and to the Federal service and in preparation for assessment and interview.
The Chairman also disclosed that henceforth eligible candidates will undergo computer-based tests and oral interviews with results collated and released in real time.
He further revealed that the Commission was going into out-sourcing contract with the National Open University and by extension with the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) both as technical partners to take advantage of their infrastructure, networks and experience for online-accreditations, computer based test and examination as well as promotion-interview for officers in the Federal Service starting with Directorate level officers.
Olaopa also announced the introduction of computer-based tests (CBT) for civil servants’ promotion examination exercise in 2024 to phase out traditional paper-based methods.
He added that the commission will transit through the upcoming 2024 Promotion examination exercise from analogue to CBT in tandem with the modernization and digitization of Federal Civil Service core operations.
Olaopa added that civil servants will also be taking through some orientation sessions conducted by the Head of Service in the form of mock-test to prepare officers for the 2024 promotion examination scheduled to be held in the 3rd quarter of this year.
