BREAKING: Lagos postpones 2025 public service examinations

 

The Lagos State Government has postponed the 2025 edition of the Public Service Examinations earlier scheduled for Tuesday, May 13, citing the need to safeguard the integrity of the process.

 

“The decision was taken to ensure the integrity of the Examination process and guarantee a fair experience for all candidates,” said Mr. Adebayo Orunsolu, Director of the Lagos State Examinations Board, in a statement released Monday evening.

 

A copy of this was also posted on the state government’s X account on Monday evening.

 

According to Orunsolu, the examinations will now hold on “Friday, May 23, 2025,” with a new date for specific papers to be announced soon via official channels.

He advised candidates to remain ready and regularly check the Board’s portal — https://examsboard.lagosstate.gov.ng — for real-time updates.

 

“Candidates are reminded to retain their registration details and print their examination slips before the announcement of the new dates,” he added.

 

Expressing appreciation for the patience and cooperation of stakeholders, Orunsolu assured that the Board remains “committed to conducting credible, transparent, and efficient Public Service Examinations.”

 

This development comes just a day before the earlier exam date, prompting candidates to extend their preparation window amid heightened expectations across the state’s civil service structure.
