The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has assured of the administration’s commitment to a merit based transparent process in the ongoing recruitment of 3000 workers into the State civil service.
Speaking in Uyo, the Governor said the screening will be computer based, providing a level playing field for every applicant.
“I am told that about 15,000 Akwa Ibom youths applied for the Civil Service Job. 3000 is what we want to engage. The truth is, it will be a computer-based test. As you finish, the result is coming out for you to see whether you passed it or not. So, don’t bother sending me texts for slots. It is not just possible. For once, we will do this one like that. If you don’t understand computer, you don’t have to bother.
“Let’s give the right people the opportunity to go and do this job. We will take time, engage them to sit on the computer, there will be a test and as they finish and submit, they would receive instant result.
“This is so that we can weed out (12,000) twelve thousand, consider five thousand (5,000) and begin the oral interview. Please don’t be angry with us, that is the approach we would adopt for this process,” he said.
The Governor urged other Akwa Ibomites interested in one job or the other to visit the portal, adding that many have secured different kinds of jobs without knowing anyone.
Governor Eno also announced that the third phase of food distribution to the vulnerable commences August 20, 2025, stating that the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs will post dates for each local government area.
He called on stakeholders to get involved, coordinating their respective areas, while urging youths to desist from fomenting trouble during the process as only vulnerable citizens with food vouchers are expected at the distribution centers.
