The Head of Civil Service, Didi Walson-Jack, has announced that computer literacy is now a requirement for all public servants in Nigeria.

Ms Walson-Jack stated this while supervising the Confirmatory Promotional Examination conducted for public servants in 45 centres nationwide in Abuja.

She tasked public servants with acquiring computer knowledge so as to fit for the new civil service operations.

“For public servants to be relevant in today’s civil service under the digitisation programme, you must be computer literate,’’ she said.

Ms Walson-Jack disclosed that the federal government is transforming the service to meet global standards, adding that civil servants who are yet to have knowledge of computer must do so.

Represented by Raymond Omachi, Permanent Secretary, Common Services Office, in the office of the HOCSF, Ms Walson-Jack said the examination was conducted for 12, 444 candidates nationwide.

She said the examination, conducted in collaboration with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, was taken by newly appointed officers across the public service, including paramilitary.

Ms Walson-Jack said the reason behind the initiative was to make the exercise transparent.

“From what we have seen, I think the process is seamless; I have been told that everything is going well,’’ she said

She thanked JAMB for the seamless exercise.

Acting Director of Information Technology Services at JAMB, Funmilola B-Usman, who represented the board, described the initiative as a “great one.’’

She expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the candidates at the examination halls.

“It is great and surprising that the candidates are actually in tune with the system. Their attitude and posture portrayed that they were ready for the exercise, and that’s exactly what we are seeing now,” she said.
