Common questions
Do I have to pay to apply for government recruitment in Nigeria?
No. Federal agencies, the armed forces and the paramilitary services repeatedly state that their recruitment is free, and that they do not sell application forms, shortlist places or appointment letters. Anyone asking for money to secure a job is very likely running a scam.
How do I know a recruitment portal is real?
Apply only through the organisation’s own website, which for federal bodies normally ends in .gov.ng, or a portal that website links to. Be wary of links shared only on WhatsApp or social media, look-alike web addresses, and messages that pressure you to act within hours.
Where do these listings come from?
From Nigerian news reporting on recruitment exercises, shortlists, scholarships and graduate programmes. Each story is read automatically, and an organisation, closing date, link or eligibility rule is shown only when it appears word for word in the reporting.
How often is this page updated?
New stories are checked every three hours, and the page refreshes within about 15 minutes after that. Several reports of the same opening are grouped into one listing.
