In a significant move to modernize Nigeria’s civil service, the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) is set to leverage the technological infrastructure of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). This initiative, championed by FCSC Chairman Prof. Tunji Olaopa, aims to enhance recruitment and promotional examinations, thereby addressing the critical need for efficiency and effectiveness in the public sector.
Strengthening Civil Service Reform Through Collaboration
During a recent courtesy visit to JAMB’s Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, Prof. Olaopa highlighted the pressing need to modernize recruitment processes, which are currently conducted manually. He noted that by tapping into JAMB’s technical expertise, the FCSC could innovate its core operations, ultimately leading to a more streamlined and effective civil service.
Addressing Operational Challenges

By collaborating with JAMB, the FCSC aims to enhance operational capabilities, ensuring that recruitment and promotional activities are not only more efficient but also transparent and accountable.
Future Actions and Expectations
Prof. Olaopa’s visit marks the beginning of a fruitful partnership intended to reshape the civil service landscape in Nigeria. Both organizations will be working intensively to develop and implement new strategies that leverage technology for better outcomes in recruitment and promotion.
