Federal Civil Service Commission Recruitment News

The Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) is a constitutional body established under Section 153 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Commission is responsible for appointing, promoting, transferring, and dismissing federal civil servants across Nigeria’s ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs).

The FCSC does not operate as a ministry itself. Instead, it serves as the central recruitment and human resource authority for the entire federal civil service. Every year, the Commission announces vacancies on behalf of MDAs that require new staff. Candidates submit their applications via the FCSC portal. The Commission is responsible for coordinating the screening, examination, and deployment processes.
