The Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) has assured shortlisted candidates in its ongoing recruitment exercise that arrangements are underway to conduct a Computer-Based Test (CBT), dismissing reports of its cancellation as false and misleading.
Chairman of the Commission, Professor Oladapo Olusegun Tunji Olaopa, gave the assurance over the weekend, urging candidates to disregard online claims suggesting that the CBT would no longer hold.
In a statement signed by Ibraheem Zakariyya, Head of Press and Public Relations for the Commission, the FCSC clarified that preparations for the examination are ongoing, pending the provision of necessary resources.
“The Commission wishes to categorically state that the information circulating online about the cancellation of the CBT is untrue. Necessary arrangements are in place, and the exercise will be conducted soon,” the statement said.
Olaopa advised shortlisted candidates to remain calm and patient, noting that official communication regarding the date, venue, and modalities of the CBT would be released in due course.
