We received over 15,000 applications for 3000 jobs in Akwa Ibom – Gov Eno

Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has revealed that over 15,000 job seekers submitted applications for the 3000 vacant positions in the state civil service.

Recall that the state government in June, announced plans to recruit 3000 civil servants, with 1000 each to be hired into the teaching service, the health sector and the core civil service.

The 3000 vacant position was a fallout of the civil service verification exercise in which 3000 ghost workers were uncovered.

The governor who announced the number of applications in Uyo, during the monthly prayer service promised to ensure transparency in the recruitment process, adding that it would be based on merit.

He said the selection would be a computer-based test with instant results adding, “there are no slots, and there is no favouritism.”

Previous recruitment exercises had been marred by lack of transparency, favoritism and had generated much anxiety among job seeks in the state.

Eno also disclosed, “In the past two days, I inspected 23 projects across the state and was inspired by the number of youths, engineers, artisans, and even young female project leaders, actively engaged. This is the spirit we must embrace: more hard work.”
