The Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) has dismissed reports of undertaking any recruitment exercise.
Naijaonpoint learnt that the clarification comes amid reports on social media about a fresh recruitment opening by the commission.
However, in a statement issued on Thursday, the FCSC public relations officer (PRO), Taiwo Hassan, described the claims as fictitious, noting that the information did not emanate from the commission.
Hassana stated that there is no fresh recruitment at the commission and warned the public to be wary of imposters, adding that the commission would officially announce any recruitment exercise through its website or national dailies.
The statement reads, “The attention of the FCSC has been drawn to information making the rounds on various media platforms about advertised vacancies and recruitments in the commission.
“The commission unequivocally declares that the information containing the commission’s website, and the name of the director (recruitment and appointment) did not emanate from the commission.
“It is fictitious and should be disregarded.”
Meanwhile, no fewer than 331 senior civil servants were promoted within the federal civil service following the conclusion of the 2024 promotion and evaluation process.
The promoted officers were among 697 candidates who participated in the oral interview conducted on November 4, 2024.
The promotion exercise, organized by the Federal Civil Service Commission, targeted officers on Grade Levels 14, 15, and 16.
The promotion exercise began in May 2024, when the commission issued a notice for the annual promotion and evaluation process. Written examinations, known as the “local leg,” were held between August 12 and August 17, 2024.
