By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Examination to determine the suitability of federal civil servants for promotion that was put on ice in August will now begin on 13 September, but the non-refundable N3,000 examination fee to be paid by each candidate remains unchanged.
The Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF) said promotion examination for officers on Grade Leveld 2 to 6 will span 13 to 16 September, according to a circular signed by the Permanent Secretary, Career Management Office.
A previous circular said the examination was scheduled across the country between Tuesday August 2 and Friday August 5, with the payment of a non-refundable N3,000 fee per candidate approved by the Public Service Examination Board (PSEB).
The new circular, with reference number HCSF/CMO/MP/782/T3, did not change or cancel the examination fee, disclosing only the new date, per reporting by The PUNCH.
It reads in part: “Postponement of the conduct of 2022 combined confirmation and promotion of Grade Level 2 to 6 junior officers.
“This is to inform you that the conduct of the 2022 Combined Confirmation/Promotion Examination, which was originally scheduled to hold from Tuesday 2nd August to Friday 5th August 2022, has been postponed.
“The examination has now been rescheduled as follows: a. Deadline for registration/closure of Portal: 19 August 2022 b. Date of examination: Tuesday 13 to Friday 16 September 2022.
“Please note that the contents of the earlier Call Circular dated 15 April, 2022 are still valid except for the change of date in paragraph two (2) above.
“All inconveniences caused by this development are regretted, please.”
