No Ongoing Federal Civil Service Recruitment – OHCSF Clarifies

The Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF) has officially denied involvement in any ongoing Federal Civil Service recruitment exercise.
In a public notice issued this week, the office clarified that it does not conduct or manage recruitment into the Federal Civil Service, emphasizing that such responsibility lies exclusively with the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC).

This clarification follows a surge of fake recruitment posts circulating across social media and job platforms, misleading unsuspecting job seekers.

FCSC Is the Only Authorized Recruitment Body

According to the OHCSF, the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) remains the sole statutory body empowered to handle recruitment, promotions, and appointments within the federal service.

“The OHCSF wishes to inform the public that it does not manage any form of recruitment process. The statutory power to recruit eligible Nigerians rests solely with the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC),” the statement emphasized.

Members of the public are therefore advised to direct all applications, enquiries, or complaints to the FCSC through its official communication channels.
