Keep wasting your time.... they have selected already and the people notified. Interview will just be a formality if not none self. Everything has been hijacked! A GF of mine I begged to help me tell her uncle who works there explained everything to me. I was slow and I missed that. Next time won't pass me atleast I know someone big in there now

Already notified? Wow. Does it mean, more people wont be contacted??

I appreciate your point but you are completely wrong in saying "That can only be possible if those "left in America" are there illegally and/or lack the credentials to work." I finished high school, A Levels in the UK with good results, and a first degree in Canada with a First Class and years of significant work experience gained while I was studying. However, I ended up as a customer service banking manager earning $2k/month which came up to little left in my bank account after paying monthly bills. I wanted more. I felt I deserved better. I was 22 at the time. I'm 37 now. I returned to Nigeria to work in the Federal Government. Initially, the compensation was little, yes. I have worked within various capacities within government and due to my field of work, I have worked on many international assignments with multilateral organizations like ECOWAS, UN etc. Doing so, we are paid several thousand dollars monthly by such bodies while still being paid our salaries and benefits by the Nigerian government. I don't pay for accommodation or many other bills while on assignment. So I end up saving a huge amount compared to being in Canada. As such, I have been able to purchase an apartment in Scarborough, near Toronto...WHILE WORKING IN NIGERIA.

I would have bought an apartment while working in Canada but could I have gotten as good and many opportunities while in the fiercely competitive employment sector in Canada? Maybe...However, what is indisputable is that I got this in NIGERIA. I didn't want to work in a bank. I studied Economics and so my friends thought it was still applicable. But I wanted to work within the field of International Economics i.e development, Int trade etc. In Canada, even with a Master's degree it is very difficult to get into the UN. I'm à civil servant here but I didn't need to be corrupt to get these opportunities here. I have since gone on to get higher degrees and further develop myself because even though people like to think the civil service is full of ineptitude​, there are a number of very competent and highly intelligent people within it. It may even surprise you to know that, while on assignment, I've met even people in the Nigerian Police Force on assignment also. My first encounter was in Haiti a few years ago. Not soldiers o...policemen. A couple of them let me know that they were sent to L'institut Français In Abuja to study french to A2 level before being​ sent to Haiti because they had no prior knowledge of French. They added that the Force sends officers to various countries where the UN has requested their presence. Yet how many of you know that such opportunities exist within the Police Force??

Like I always say, yes, Nigeria has many flaws but I have come to realize that it also has many gems hidden within it, including the civil service. It really boils down to individual foresight and priorities. So, you guys should stop dismissing everything you hear because you feel the salary is too small for anybody, moreso those in the US, Canada,UK etc to come back for. I have said this several times here, there are a lot of legitimate opportunities within Government. It is all up to you if you want to find them out, pursue them and make your own story different from the picture that has been painted of "ministry" workers. Paint your own picture! Inform yourselves! Not everybody goes to the ministry to sleep and eat groundnut.

Hi Aliex , you are inspiring. I would really appreciate it if you can ping me on 08038871100. Thank you.

According to my contact at FCSC, sms /documentation have NOT been sent to all successful applicants. The entire process is being delayed due to the ongoing Promotion exercise being conducted by some senior staff at PSIN Kubwa -same people incharge of issuance of APLs.
The exercise will soon be concluded (this month) and the recruitment process will recommence. So keep faith people, until APLs are issued and all vacancy slot filled , its not over yet.

Most likely Africa continent relatives topics, it's history, social, political and economic growth and development. Then on the area of your specialization

Aliex:


They may not have called anyone from the list we all saw on their website but are you certain they didn't select from those who weren't on the published shortlist? There are many people who weren't on the shortlist the public saw but were interviewed and have been to fcsc for documentation.
