Unemployment in Nigeria : FRSC screens 324,000 applicants for 4,000 vacancies

The Federal Road Safety Corps has commenced the screening of 324,000 applicants for recruitment in the Federal Capital Territory and 36 states of the federation.

The Corps Marshall, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, who visited two screening centres at the National Stadium and Mogadishu Barracks in Abuja on Monday, explained that only 4,000 successful applicants would be recruited by the corps.

He stated that about 400 would be engaged out of the 105,000 university graduates that were taking part in the ongoing screening exercise which he said would hold for four days.

Oyeyemi expressed satisfaction with the orderly conduct of the exercise, attributing this to the high number of graduate applicants.

The applicants for officers cadre, the FRSC boss said, would be screened on Monday and Tuesday while the screening for other cadres would hold between Thursday and Sunday.
