I Got Shortlisted For A Federal Civil Service Job (Photos) by NassBoy(op): 4:13pm On Aug 01, 2025
I'm posting this here in order to get more clarifications regarding this recruitment exercise by the federal government of Nigeria.

So, sometime in March, I applied for same job when it was announced. I applied and I prayed for success. Just four days ago, a friend whom we applied same day, called to inform me that the lists of shortlisted candidates have been released and that I should check the Portal. But before I checked, I asked about his own status and he said he wasn't Shortlisted. When he said this, I instantly lost hope. I told him there was no point checking it because I already knew I would not be shortlisted too, so what's the point checking?. He insisted that I check. I was nervous.
To my surprise, I finally checked and saw that I was shortlisted. And I can only pray that I succeed after all. To God be the glory.

For those who are already in the system, how are these things done?.
Secondly, I heard exams/aptitude test would be next, but no date has been fixed yet. Does anyone know the Exact date?
Thirdly, what and what do I need to study ahead of the test?. What are the kind of questions involved? I was told it's Mathematics, English and current affairs. How true is this?
Lastly, how much is the salary for starters when you get a federal civil service job. I can see Grade Level 8 on the dashboard. Does this mean that if I succeed(by God's grace), I would start from level 8?

If you are a goal getter, an achiever, someone that loves to get things done, bros go to the private sector and put yourself to good use. If you enter civil service with these qualities, I sorry for you oo, you go dey work dey wonder wetin you dey work for. The only option is if you are good at eye service, kissing ass of your supervisor very well and stealing funds, then you will succeed, if not, you go suffer oooo

Civil service in Nigeria doesn’t reward hard work, they reward sycophants

The job is real as it was published and many people applied for it.

At the moment venues for aptitude Test are been arranged for the various geographical regions.

The Aptitude Test is likely to hold towards end of August or first week of September.

The Aptitude Test will involve English language and current Affairs only.

During the Aptitude test, the examiners will screen your credentials your uploaded during your application.

Ensure you go for the test with originals of all documents you uploaded. Also go with a valid means of identification preferably PVC or NIN SLIP.

You must score 60% and above to be finally successful.

Goodluck my brother
