The 78 directors will today attend the third and final level “Oral Interview/Interactive Session” at the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of Federation in Abuja. 
The week-long exercise was announced in separate memos by the Permanent Secretary, Career Management Office (CMO) in the Office of Head of Service of the Federation (OHoCSF) Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan. 

Reporters who visited the centre saw the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HoCSF) Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita leading the technical committee and other federal officers to supervise yesterday’s Computer Based Test (CBT) exercise. 
In line with the Federal Character Principle one permanent secretary is appointed per state as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
