State Civil Service Recruitment 2026/2027: All States
Last updated: 9 October 2026
State civil service jobs in Nigeria are filled by each state’s Civil Service Commission, which recruits for ministries, departments and agencies such as health, finance, works and local government administration. Exercises open at different times in each state, and most now run through an online portal followed by a computer-based test and an interview.
Use the table below to find your state’s recruitment guide and shortlist. Each guide explains the requirements, the documents you need, how to apply and what happens after screening. New states are added here automatically as we publish them.
Beware of scams: civil service recruitment is free. Apply only on the official state portal and never pay for a form or a “slot”.
