The Kaduna State Government has commenced the 2026 civil service examination for confirmation of appointments for 3,000 civil servants.
The examination which opened at the ICT Centre at Kaduna State University (KASU) Main Campus, kaduna is being conducted by the office of the Head of Service in collaboration with Kumesh Integrated Concept Ltd.
Speaking at the ICT centre on Wednesday, the Head of Service, Mrs Jummai Bako, said the exam is critical for newly recruited civil servants to be confirmed into permanent service of the state.
“Once a civil servant is confirmed, they become eligible to enjoy leave of absence, transfer of service, and even in-service training.
“That is why it is very important for every civil servant recruited into the service of the Kaduna state government to write the CAC exams for confirmation of appointment,” Bako said.
She noted that the exam covers areas directly related to civil servants’ daily duties, including administrative, financial, legal, and medical courses, as well as general knowledge on issues within the state and the country at large.
The Head of Service added that questions are categorized into about five sections to reflect different departments and levels, including administration, legal, and medical personnel.
“The exam covers staff from ministries, departments, and the 23 Local government areas of the state, excluding tertiary institutions.
“For candidates who fail, they will get a second chance in 2027.”
She urged candidates to put in their best because confirmation comes with several benefits.
She also appreciated Gov. Uba Sani for releasing funds for the examination and for his commitment to workers’ welfare, including salary adjustments and prompt payment.
“His Excellency has done a lot for civil servants. On behalf of the civil servants, I promise that we will continue to do our best in implementing government policies, because civil servants are the engine of every government,” she stated.(NAN)
