JAMB sets date to conduct NIS, NSCDC recruitment test

The Ministry of Interior is partnering with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in the recruitment of personnel for the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

JAMB will assist the ministry to conduct Computer-Based Aptitude Test (CBAT), which will hold across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, for shortlisted applicants, from December 7 and 8, 2020.

This disclosure was made in a statement titled ‘Interior Ministry partners JAMB for transparent recruitment’, by the Ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Mr Mohammed Manga, on Tuesday in Abuja.

According to Manga, the aim of the partnership with JAMB was to ensure transparency, equity and justice in the recruitment exercise.

He further explained that the partnership was also to provide all eligible and qualified Nigerians who applied for various posts in the two organisations a level playing ground.
