Rivers State Executive Council has approved the employment of five thousand youths into the State Civil Service.

The approval was given during its meeting on Wednesday 28th, October 2020, which was presided over by Governor Nyesom Wike and held at Government House, Port Harcourt on Wednesday.

Briefing journalists after the meeting, the State Commissioner for Employment Generation and Empowerment, Sylvanus Nwankwo said the youths must not be more than 35 years.

He said there are existing vacancies in the civil service needing Engineers, Lawyers, Medical Doctors, Technicians and other fields that youths could fill.

Also addressing newsmen, the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim said the recruitment drive undertaken by the Wike administration will cushion the employment gap in the state.

Nsirim also said the council approved that civil servants that were asked to stay back at home during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown are to resume work on Monday 2nd November 2020.


“Civil servants on grade level 1 to 10 who have been at home because of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown are to resume work Monday, November 2nd 2020. Similarly, bars that have been closed down since COVID-19 lockdown are to open, while night clubs will remain closed” he said.

Arrrrrrrh


Wike, some times I like him, sometimes I dislike his tyrant attitude.

This great improvement, civil service is better than army.

Good news!!

Good move, this country must be fixed by fire by force #Endbadgovernance

Taking 5000 youth off the street is one step ahead of some governor that don’t know who killed peaceful protester in their state .
A governor is the cso of is state and must answer to development of the state .
Wike always respond

Good move

5000 ipob members

Okowa wouldn't do anyone. I can't just state one benefits of being a Deltan.

Is this job for only indigenes

No mode of applying for the audio jobs? In terms of employment in Rivers State wike has performed woefully,no promotion for civil servants after years of hard work, no appointment of commissioners which can indirectly create spaces for some youths. I hope this one does not go the same way of Rivers State University recruitment where it was just for obi akpor and portharcourt city local government indigenes.. Kudos to Amaechi for doing more in terms of employment .Amaechi employed more than 13000 teachers and it was based on merit.

Good time to be a Riverain.
