Develop Computer Skills Or Forfeit Your Promotions- FG Tells Workers

The Federal Government has ordered civil servants in the
country to develop computer skills or forfeit their promotions. The government
said the order became necessary because it would soon switch from biro-to-paper
examinations to computer-based exams for onward promotions and advancement in
the civil service.

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, HoS, Mrs
Winifred Oyo-Ita, gave the order in an interview with journalists in Abuja
shortly after she rewarded 12 civil servants for their punctuality and
commitment to work.

Oyo-Ita, who gave commendation letter and a computer each to
the 12 workers, explained that the computer reward was deliberate to drive home
the call for a digitalised civil servant.

She added that, “computer has become an indispensable tool
for individual and national empowerment, improvement, development and
actualization of service.’’
