Sokoto State indigenes hoping to secure jobs through the state government’s recruitment exercise have been given extra time to apply.
The Sokoto State Recruitment Committee announced an extension of the recruitment portal deadline from October 6 to October 12, 2025.
The move is aimed at giving more qualified candidates the chance to participate in the ongoing recruitment exercise.
According to the committee, this extension is to ensure that no eligible applicant is left out.
In a statement signed by Secretary of the recruitment committee, Gandi Umar Muhammad,”This is to enable more qualified Sokoto State indigenes to apply.”
It also reminded applicants to use the official recruitment portal,”The committee also wishes to inform Sokoto State qualified indigenes that are yet to apply to make sure they apply through the portal given by the recruitment committee which as follows; https://employment.sokotostate.gov.ng, as the committee will not entertain any one who does not apply through the portal.”
Newsmen had reported that Sokoto has announced that its recruitment exercise for graduates will commence on Monday, September 22, and run until October 6, 2025.
The recruitment committee said the process was aimed at providing employment opportunities for qualified indigenes of the state.
It was stated that candidates must register with valid email addresses and phone numbers, fill in their biodata, and upload required documents such as educational certificates, proof of indigene, birth certificate, and National Identification Number.
The committee urged applicants to ensure stable internet connection during registration and cautioned residents not to pay anyone for the recruitment.
