The Federal Capital Territory Civil Service Commission, on Tuesday, began a computer-based promotion examination for 915 Assistant and Deputy Directors.
Chairman of the Commission, Mr Emeka Eze, said at the event in Abuja that the directors were drawn from the Universal Basic Education Board, Secondary Education Board, Education Secretariat, and other departments and agencies.
Eze said that the examination would be conducted in phases.
He added that the computer-based examination was introduced to ensure that those who would be promoted to substantive director level were qualified to face the current technology-driven challenges associated with their jobs.
“As part of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the present administration, we needed to introduce technology to avoid the possibility of interference and pressures.
“So, we will be the first commission to introduce computer-based promotion examinations in Nigeria.
“The idea is that as we are finishing the result today, by next week the result is out. So there’s no possibility of anybody putting pressure on anybody for it.
“This is a part of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the present administration,” he said.
