Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, Minister of Interior, has asked the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) to complete the ongoing upload of applicant information in the recruitment exercise for the country’s paramilitary services.
The decision comes in response to rising complaints from applicants who claim they have been unable to trace the status of their submissions weeks after completing various stages of the recruitment process.
In a statement on his official Facebook page on Friday, the minister acknowledged the difficulties, attributing them to the continuous data upload.
He stated, “Following recent complaints from applicants into the paramilitary agencies who are still unable to determine their fate due to the ongoing upload of information, I have directed the Secretary of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board to ensure that all uploads are completed immediately.”
The CDCFIB had already announced on Thursday that applicants could check their recruiting status beginning Friday.
However, numerous users noticed difficulties with the recruitment portal.
Some complained that the website did not react after they provided their login information, while others said that their dashboards displayed job categories other than those for which they had applied.
It was gathered that a total of about 1.9 million applicants applied for roughly 30,000 vacancies across the four paramilitary services.
