The Federal Government has ordered civil servants in the country that they need to develop computer skills in order to get promoted.
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, revealed this in Abuja shortly after she rewarded 12 civil servants for their punctuality and commitment to work
“Computer has become an indispensable tool for individual and national empowerment, improvement, development and actualization of service,’’ she noted.
Mrs. Eyo-Ita said she only fulfilled the promise made to reward civil servants for punctuality and attitude to work.
“I decide to shift from the impunity of lateness to work to punctuality and commitment to work in order to serve as encouragement to others and also spur some others to improve on their attitude to work,” she added.
