Verify before you apply
- ✓Applications should be made only on the official portal of the agency or ministry concerned.
- ✓Genuine federal recruitment is free. No screening fee, no processing fee, no "shortlisting" payment.
- ✓Cross-check the announcement against the agency's verified channels and national media before acting on a social media post.
- ✓Be sceptical of portals with lookalike domain names and no official announcement behind them.
What agencies typically require
- ✓Valid means of identification
- ✓NYSC discharge, exemption or exclusion certificate
- ✓Academic credentials, from WAEC/NECO through to degree certificates
- ✓Birth certificate or declaration of age
- ✓Local government identification letter
- ✓Guarantor details
Scan clean, legible copies in advance. Most rejected applications fail on documentation, not on merit.
Prepare a competitive application
Match your stated experience to the published scheme of service for the grade. Keep dates consistent across every document — mismatches between NYSC, degree and employment dates are the most common cause of failed verification.
While you wait
Public sector cycles are long. Keep private sector options live in parallel rather than waiting on a single outcome. We recruit across banking, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and technology — join our candidate pipeline while your public sector application progresses.
