Govt shuts job portal as 8,000 applicants apply in 48 hours

Kwara State Garment Factory has shut the application portal recently opened to hire 300 production workers after it received 8,373 applications in less than 48 hours.

 

A Government House statement attributed to the management of the new government company said the job application portal was closed seeing that more people applied for the job than it expected.

 

We are impressed by this response, which shows that people are truly keen and excited to work with us. However, we are compelled to close the portal ahead of the earlier deadline because of the number of applications already received.

 

We received no less than 8,373 applications within the first 48 hours of opening the portal. That was impressive!

 

“We have, therefore, shut the portal to allow for thorough and professional screening of the applications already submitted,” the statement said.The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, said the garment factory was one of the projects of Governor AbdulRaman AbdulRazaq scheduled for take-off in the first quarter of 2024.

 

Nigeria is grappling with an unemployment crisis, which the National Bureau of Statistics put at 4.1 per cent in August last year.
