Policy introduces stricter performance measures across the federal workforce.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has warned that civil servants may face job loss after failing mandatory examinations three consecutive times.
The directive is part of broader efforts to improve efficiency and accountability within the public service.
Officials say the examinations are designed to assess competence and professional development.
Public sector reform has remained a priority for the government amid concerns about productivity.
Labour stakeholders have expressed mixed reactions, with some calling for support systems alongside enforcement measures.
There has been no official clarification on appeal processes or exemptions.
The policy is expected to affect a significant number of workers across ministries and agencies.
The move signals a shift toward performance-based evaluation within Nigeria’s civil service.
