Excitement as Governor Eno Commences CBT Exams for Civil Service Recruitment

Excitement and optimism filled the atmosphere on Tuesday, November 4, 2025 as thousands of applicants from across the state thronged the Civil Service Auditorium, Uyo, to participate in the Computer-Based Test (CBT) for the ongoing Akwa Ibom State Civil Service recruitment exercise approved by Governor Umo Eno.

In preparation for the CBT examinations, the administration had rehabilitated the Civil Service Auditorium and equipped it with over 400 brand-new computers, networking facilities, and a reliable power supply system, ensuring a seamless and fully digital testing environment.

The examination, which commenced today, marks a major milestone in the Governor’s commitment to a transparent and merit-driven process in public service employment. The exercise will run in five streams daily, with candidates receiving their scores instantly upon submission of answers.

Some candidates who spoke with reporters expressed excitement and appreciation to Governor Umo Eno for ensuring a level playing field for all applicants across the State. They commended the introduction of digital testing as a step forward in promoting fairness, accountability, and efficiency in the recruitment process.

Present at the venue to supervise and monitor proceedings were the Commissioner for Science and Digital Economy, Dr. Frank Ekpenyong, Commissioner for Information, Dr. Aniekan Umanah, Rector of the Digital Academy and Skills Acquisition Centre (DASAC), Prof. Enoidem Usoro, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media, Michael Effiong, as well as representatives of the Office of the Head of Civil Service and the Civil Service Commission.

It would be recalled that Governor Eno had earlier approved the recruitment of 4,000 workers into the Akwa Ibom State Civil Service to strengthen the workforce and meet the personnel needs of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.
