THE Federal Government has extended the deadline for applications into the Federal Civil Service to March 17, 2025, allowing more eligible candidates to apply.
The Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) initially announced the recruitment exercise on January 27, 2025, offering over 70 positions across various ministries, departments, and agencies.
However, technical difficulties experienced by many applicants led to widespread calls for an extension.
The FCSC spokesperson, Hassan Taiwo acknowledged the issues but noted that some applicants were still able to complete their registrations successfully.
However, in an advertisement published today, Taiwo confirmed that the new deadline replaces the previously announced March 10, 2025 deadline.
“The Federal Civil Service Commission has extended the closing date for receiving applications for various vacancies in the Federal Civil Service to Monday, March 17, 2025, to allow more eligible candidates to participate in the exercise,” the statement read.
“The updated information is now available on the FCSC website and in The Sun and The Nation newspapers of Monday, March 10, 2025, including Daily Trust of Tuesday, March 11, 2025.
“Qualified Nigerians are urged to take advantage of this extension and apply for the available vacancies.
“The Commission assures applicants of a merit-driven and transparent recruitment process,” it concluded.
