Please check email. Thanks

This vacancy has been advertised several times and repeatedly too by the same recruitment firm (Stresert) as far back as last year.

In my opinion I think both the client and recruitment firm have issues they haven't yet realized how unrealistically ridiculous these requirements are.

They are on a long thing and they'll remain on this matter for as long as they all choose to be unreasonable and silly.

@ ops I have been seeing this advert on nairaland since last year and more than 3 times, what are u up to?.

Pls mod, do the needful as it could be a scam
