Hello reader, today I am going to share with you a very important issue in the Nigerian labour market today. In as much as the world is preaching entrepreneurship today, over 98% of Nigeria's job seekers are dreaming of jobs in the public or government sector, especially in the federal government ministries, departments and Agencies. Therefore I am going to share with you the best or easiest way to get employed into the federal civil service.

The Federal Civil Service is lucrative, promising and on the long run, very rewarding. In the FCSC, there is room for progressive career development, job enlargement and enrichment, well-structured motivational policies as well as all-round specialization of disciplines. Every Nigerian prefers the Federal Civil Service to the States civil service because of the higher pay, continuity in job policies as well as wider room for growth, exposure and career opportunities.



The federal civil service job employment is spearheaded by the Federal Civil Service Commission. The FCSC is constitutionally saddled with the responsibility to coordinate, assess and employ qualified candidates to work in the engine room of the federal government.

However it is not easy to get employed into the federal civil service. Primarily, core ministries employ directly through the federal civil service commission. Other Agencies and Departments of the federal government may employ on their own but must however collaborate with the FCSC, the office of the Head of Service of the Federation as well as other arms like the Office of the Accountant -General of the Federation.

Every Job employment must be duly advertised...this is according to the guiding policies of the federal civil service. Please disregard any alleged job opportunity brought to you which has not been advertised either in the official websites of the federal civil service commission, the electronic or print media. A lot of job seekers have been duped as a result of patronizing job opportunities brought to their doorsteps without following the laid down procedures of the federal government of Nigeria. Now these are the secrets of getting that job into the Nigeria's Federal Civil Service and become a proud federal civil servant.
Federal Government job

Keep Permanent Email, Phone Contact, Real Contact Address in all Official Documents / CV


Previosly I wrote you on the easiest way to get that dream job. It highlighted the need to maintain a permanent phone number and email and this time, it is more advantageous to also maintain a steady contact address. In your curriculum vitae CV, resume, or other official documents, it has proven priceless to know that you can be reached anytime even after 5 years of submitting that document. Every serious employer keeps efficient database of prospective employees and the Federal Civil Service is no exception.

Register on the Official Federal Civil Service Commission Job Recruitment Portal


The first secret to getting into the federal civil service is to register and submit your details on the official job portal of the federal civil service commission. The portal only opens when the federal government of Nigeria through the FCSC declares vacancies through the electronic and print media. After a successful registration, an automated number is generated for each candidate. Kindly save this number because it will be very useful in your subsequent dealings in the course of your job application and employment.

Always Follow Up, Listen to the Radio, TV, News and Papers


The Government recognizes the electronic and print media as its official media for public enlightenment. Policies, announcements and notifications are always publicized through these media platforms. In addition to receiving text messages on your phone contact number, the TV, radio and newspapers are other ways you as an applicant could be notified about new developments in the job application processes of the Federal Civil Service by the FCSC.

Prepare for Soon-to-come Job Interviews and Written Aptitude Tests


Yes it will surely come. When you are successfully shortlisted, the next is to sit for the regular employment aptitude test or interview. This arrangement might differ slightly depending on the method of operation and policies of the Ministry, Department or Agency MDA recruiting at that time. However, it is always good to be ready at all times.

Kindly disregard the idea of getting a federal government job through an uncle who is well connected in the Nation's capital - the FCT, Abuja. Let us do the right thing so that the right results will come to us.
