No fewer than 450,000 Nigerians have applied for Federal Government jobs, The PUNCH has learnt.

In January 2025, the Federal Government, through the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC), announced the commencement of recruitment into various positions within the civil service.

A newspaper advertorial signed by the Director of Recruitment and Appointment, Ogaba Ede, listed over 70 vacant positions, including Administrative Officer, Programme Analyst, Procurement Officer, Senior Computer Engineer, Medical Laboratory Scientist, Education Officer, and Foreign Affairs Officer.

A statement by the Head of Press and Public Relations at the FCSC, Taiwo Hassan, disclosed that only eligible Nigerians could apply through the commission’s official portal.

The application deadline, initially fixed for 10th March, was later extended to 17th March 2025. However, many applicants reported difficulties accessing the portal during the registration process.

Providing an update on the exercise, a senior commission official, who was not authorised to speak publicly, confirmed that the number of available positions was fewer than 10,000.

“Over 450,000 applied for the last recruitment exercise. We have fewer than 10,000 vacancies. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. Anyone who does not receive a message did not make the shortlist.

They will write a Computer-Based Test in their respective states. There will be no rescheduling, and results will be available immediately after the exams,” the official said.

When contacted, the FCSC spokesperson said the commission would release further information on the recruitment exercise in due course.
