Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HoS), Mrs Winifred Oyo-Ita gave the order in an interview with journalists in Abuja shortly after she rewarded 12 civil servants for their punctuality and commitment to work.
Oyo-Ita, who gave commendation letters and a computer each to the 12 workers, explained that the computer reward was deliberate to drive home the call for a digitalised civil servant.
She added that any federal civil servant who failed to sharpen his or her skill in computer would not partake in the computer-based promotion examinations.
The HoS equally charged civil servants to be abreast of latest developments in Information, Technology and Communication (ICT) for office holders.
“Computer has become an indispensable tool for individual and national empowerment, improvement, development and actualization of service,’’ she noted.
