ABUJA, Nigeria – The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has conducted a computer-based promotion examination for junior staff under the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, with 450 workers participating in the exercise in Abuja on Friday.
The examination, held at Ade-Ola International School in the Kubwa axis of the Federal Capital Territory, formed part of routine assessments to determine eligibility for career progression.
Speaking to journalists after the exercise, the JAMB Director for the Abuja Zonal Office, Hajia Zainab Hamzat, said the process was smooth and hitch-free.
