Federal Civil Service Commission has come under hammer over addressing glitches in the recruitment process.
Reports abound as to the difficulties associated with accessing the portal as many unemployed Nigerians try in vain to get results.
However, rather than being a seamless and transparent process, the exercise has been marred by technical glitches that have left many frustrated.
Reports of difficulties in accessing the recruitment portal, frequent downtimes, and hitches during registration have raised serious concerns about the commission’s preparedness to handle a recruitment exercise of this magnitude.
The Federal Civil Service Commission has a responsibility to conduct this recruitment exercise in a manner that upholds integrity and fairness.
The current technical glitches must be addressed immediately to ensure that all qualified Nigerians have an equal opportunity to apply.
More importantly, the commission must guarantee that selection is based on merit.
At a time when trust in public institutions is waning, conducting a credible and transparent recruitment process will go a long way in restoring public confidence in the civil service.
The government must not allow another opportunity for employment creation to be tainted by inefficiency and corruption.
