Federal Recruitment: Applicants Lament Hard Portal Access

The Federal
Government has been blamed over the difficulty associated with accessing the portal for federal civil service commission recruitment.
Some of the prospective applicants who spoke with The Tide Tuesday in Port Harcourt said the online platform for the recruitment was not working.
An applicant, Miss Uwem Emmanuel, said the portal was that bad as it could not open for a whole week.
She said the idea of the exercise was dropped after repeated fruitless efforts to access the portal.
Emmanuel noted that no one has successfully applied for the federal job due to the hitches associated with the process.
She reasoned that the operators of the exercise may not be sincere with the exercise going by the challenges experienced so far.
Another respondent, Mr. Emewakeme Onovughe, regretted that both money and time were wasted in cyber café in an attempt to register the online recruitment exercise.
He said the best way to go about it was to design six different portals to enable applicants from the six geo-political zones access it easily.
Onovughe, argued that such initiatives would encouraged more application from the applicants.
While Tina Okoro technical challenges, called on the Federal Government to upgrade the system.
She explained that the situation has become a source of concern for the applicants, especially in this period of economic recession.
The Tide gathered that the House Committee on Federal character is to investigate issues surrounding the inability to access the Federal Government recruitment portal.
Other applicants that spoke with The Tide, said they were in doubt, if any applicant has successfully registered and submitted the form in Port Harcourt.
