The Federal Government has extended the application deadline for recruitment into the Federal Civil Service to March 17, 2025.
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.
In a statement published in national dailies and shared by FCSC spokesperson Hassan Taiwo on Monday, the commission confirmed that the new deadline replaces the previously set date of March 10, 2025.
“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.
Taiwo acknowledged that some applicants faced technical issues but assured the public that many were able to complete their registrations successfully.
The updated information is now available on the FCSC website and was also published in The Sun, The Nation, and Daily Trust newspapers. The commission urged qualified Nigerians to take advantage of the extension and reiterated its commitment to a merit-driven and transparent recruitment process.
