Key Points
- The recruitment portal for paramilitary agencies reopens on July 21 after a brief suspension.
- Applicants who had started the application process are encouraged to return to complete their submissions.
- The decision to pause the recruitment process was made to enhance the platform’s capacity and improve user experience.
- The recruitment is for positions in the General Duty, Inspectorate, and Assistant cadres, requiring varying academic qualifications, from SSCE to bachelor’s degrees.
- Applicants must be Nigerian citizens, aged 18 to 35, meet physical fitness standards, and provide proof of medical fitness.
- The board emphasized that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted, and no third party will be authorized to intervene in the process.
- The suspension was caused by system overload, leading to multiple login failures and incomplete submissions.
The FG’s paramilitary recruitment portal is now open for applicants to complete their applications after a brief shutdown for system upgrades. The initiative aims to ensure a smooth, efficient, and transparent recruitment process.
