Providing an update, Eno Olotu, the Director of Press at OHCSF, stated, “Out of the 38 eligible directors who took the exam, 19 passed the first stage and will proceed to the second stage, which will assess their proficiency in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for government operations on Wednesday, November 13, 2024.”


Olotu highlighted that the recruitment process is a rigorous, three-stage procedure aimed at ensuring only the most qualified candidates are selected.


The successful candidates from the second stage will advance to the final stage on Friday, November 15, 2024, where they will face a panel of senior bureaucrats and private sector representatives.
