Months after the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) shortlisted candidates for its recruitment exercise and instructed them to select Computer Based Test (CBT) centres, applicants are yet to receive any further communication from the commission.
The silence has left thousands of hopeful candidates anxious and frustrated, with no schedule, update, or clarification on the next stage of the recruitment process.
Public concerns have grown over the lack of transparency, which is seen as eroding trust in government recruitment procedures. Analysts have noted that even in cases of delays or internal challenges, the commission has a responsibility to provide clear updates to applicants.
Nigeria faces high youth unemployment, and stakeholders argue that raising expectations without timely communication is unfair and counterproductive.
Calls are now mounting for the FCSC to clarify the status of the recruitment exercise, including whether it is ongoing, suspended, or cancelled.
The commission has not yet responded to requests for comment.
