The issue with DSS is they don't recruit many people. Just about 3 per state. It is therefore highly sort after by the high and mighty. Your connection has to be strong to be in.

But if you drop application, they will call you later for test and that's the end of the process. They have a new DSS DG now who seem to like merit and who also got in through merit. It will be the first recruitment under him. If he will be able to take people on merit and deny the candidates of the most powerful is to be seen.

Its good to hustle and try things out. Let those trying to get in still try if they can. But let them also understand that it's almost impossible to get in.

PS: Wrote the test myself once many many years ago. I doubt if things would have changed much.

Lol how did he know of the intake then?😁

Please are FCEs still under IPPIS

No boss

Eventually, the unconnected & average people would outnumber the connected & elites which jobs in Nigeria are sorely reserved for them & their kids!.

Politicians & elites really have no idea the kind of gunpowder we are sitting on. Their is an extreme high number of unemployed educated youths 20s-40s, slowly loosing hope in the system( don't even get me started on d uneducated ones )

Please, let us give them a chance, a hope, that Nigeria also belongs to them, NO NEED TO CORNER ALL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES for urself & relatives. Average Nigerians deserve a chance & they should be given fairly. It's disheartening & disappointing how recruitments go in recent times in this country

Any idea on how much DSS cadet Officers are being paid? I mean entry level for those with B.Sc. Also, if employed, does it mean they will be carrying guns up and down?
Forgive my ignorance, please.

Sammysaga:
Are there positions for SSCE holders?

Surely. There's no establisbment without positions for SSCE holders. As a matter of fact, that qualification stands a better chance of being employed than higher qualifications such as ND, NCE, HND, B.Sc, M.Sc etc

Not sure exactly what the pay is. It is definitely over 200k but depending on your posting, you can get several allowances. Some posting are juicy that you may not even touch your salary. Some, you depend only on salary.

Every officer will be trained on how to use firearms. However, your carrying of guns will be when you are going for special operations. I am sure you know that even police officers don't carry guns up and down. It depends on if situations warrant it.

Any update on NMDPRA and NNRA ??

Npa, Nimasa maritime stuff just went blank for months now. No update nothing nothing. Wats going on

I heard that last month the president commissioned the College of Petroleum and Energy Studies in Kaduna. Should I start pushing it, and do you think it would offer good salary opportunities?

3 per states was then. Officially now it will be upto 10 or close excluding 10G connect recommendations. Mind you Nigerian population has drastically increased and is still increasing and the numbers of graduates on group is piling day by day coupled with the insecurity on ground. NDA used to recruite 3 per states but now more than 10 depending on the state population and involvement in the military coupled with the insecurity. Things have changed

Sole states stopped accepting applications even before yesterday being Thursday, that their director asked them to because the number people that applied already dey too much. The rate of unemployment is really alarming
