About this portal

This platform supports the Personnel Audit and Skills Gap Analysis (PASGA) Project under the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF), using the MuchSkills Platform.

The goal is simple: to build a modern, data-driven, and globally competitive Civil Service by identifying and developing the skills of every public servant and you are critical to this ambitious but achievable goal.

Please note

Ministry Portals are being prepared. We’re carefully setting up and reviewing each Ministry portal to include the right skills for your assessment. Not all portals are ready yet. You can check the left panel to see if yours is available, and your Ministry will notify you once it’s ready. Thanks for your patience!

On this page you will find

A welcome video
To get started you will need: IPPIS number; email ending in .ng; Ministry’s portal is ready
Your skill assessment step by step instructions

Certificate & Access Support

(This is what the "Check to see if your Ministry is ready for assessment" link on the hero actually scrolls to — see report: it is not a ministry-by-ministry readiness list/table, it's this FAQ block, largely duplicating the mobile-only "Important Notice!" block above with slightly different wording.)

When will I receive my certificate?

Your certificate will be sent by PCL.

If you completed your assessment some time ago and haven’t received it yet, this is a known issue. PCL is currently working to send out pending certificates as soon as possible.
