(FCSC) Vacancies (Sept. 2011) Federal Civil Service Commission

(FCSC) Vacancies (Sept. 2011) Federal Civil Service Commission

Essentially, vacancies are arrived after proposals are made, defended and approved for MDA’s in the Office of Establishment and Management Services of the OHCSF. These vacancies when declared by MDAs to the Commission for Promotion, Conversion, and Upgrading are utilized for the posts and the effective date of such vacancies is always 1st January of the year.
Vacancies are expected to lapse after each and every year just like the approved financial budget of MDA’s.
Vacancies can occur on the retirement, dismissal or termination of an officer’s appointment. But such vacancies cannot be declared to the FCSC for promotion immediately until such vacancies become fully mature. For example, an officer who retired in February 2008 from the service, the vacancy created by his retirement cannot therefore be utilized for the 2008 promotion exercise, but the following year i.e. 1/1/09. This is because the officer was still on post by the effect of the promotion of 1/1/08.
It is therefore important to mention that it is not the Commission that declares vacancies for promotion, conversion or upgrading and cannot promote, convert or upgrade any officer where such vacancies have not been declared.
When MDA’s require more vacancies, they can only propose during manpower defense handled annually by the OHCSF (Establishment) matters.
