Officers are required to log on to the Federal Civil Service Commission's promotion portal at the web address provided in the circular issued by the Commission.
According to FCSC, log-in details will be sent directly to each candidate's registered email address to allow access to the accreditation portal. The Commission urged all eligible officers to complete the process within the stipulated period.
Important message from FG
In a pointed advisory directed at candidates, the Commission made clear that the August 28 deadline will not be shifted under any circumstances.
"For the avoidance of doubt, candidates who fail to complete their accreditation within the period allocated for the exercise should plan to re-present themselves next year 2027, because the Commission will not extend the time allocated for the exercise," the circular read.
The warning signals a stricter approach to compliance this year, with no provision for late submissions or appeals from officers who miss the window.
Officers sitting for the Directorate Level Promotion Examination are those at the senior end of the federal civil service hierarchy. Grade Level 14 to 16 positions typically cover directors and equivalent roles, and promotion at this tier requires candidates to pass a formal examination administered by the Commission.
