The selected candidates for the 10,000 positions in the state civil service are now being put through a physical examination by the Rivers State Government.
This occurred four months after Nyesom Wike, a former governor, instructed the State Civil Service Commission to start hiring.
Some candidates have already reported that they received text messages inviting them to the interview.
Clifford Walter, the chairman of the Civil Service Commission, told reporters that only 7,000 of the 10,000 candidates had received messages and would be scheduled for interviews for positions in the core civil service.
According to Walter, out of the 10,000 spots, 2,000 have been allocated to the state primary and post-primary schools board to meet the state’s increased need for instructors.
He said that the Judicial Service Commission and Health Management Board had each been allocated roughly 450 slots to hire judges, physicians, and health officials, respectively.
The overall number of kids who will be hired, according to Walter, is around 10,000. The governor, in his graciousness, ordered that the Primary Schools Board be given 1000 slots to hire instructors due to the scarcity in the teaching portion of the service.
Moreover, the Post Primary Schools’ Board will get extra $1000 for instructors. After that, 250 went to the Judicial Service Commission for solicitors and other things. Then 200 people headed to the Health Management Board to be doctors and health officials.
So that leaves us with the widely accepted estimate of 7,500. Therefore, this is the approximate amount of people we will speak with over the evaluation time.
Additionally, he stated that appointment letters will be given to the chosen candidates following the physical verification.
Even though accounts officers and administrative officials have previously been interviewed, our correspondent who has been following the process indicates that the interviews are still being conducted in batches of 300 people every day.
