The National Universities Commission (NUC) has announced the commencement of a nationwide recruitment exercise to fill several vacancies at its headquarters in Abuja.
In a public notice issued on Friday, the Commission invited qualified Nigerians to apply for openings across officer, confidential secretary, and clerical or auxiliary staff cadres.
“The recruitment exercise is open to all eligible Nigerians who meet the advertised requirements. Applications are free of charge and must be submitted through the official careers portal,” the notice read.
Applicants have been directed to visit careers.nuc.edu.ng or nuc.edu.ng for detailed guidelines. The Commission stressed that applications must be submitted within six weeks of the announcement, adding that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for further screening.
For the officer cadre, positions include Senior Officer (CONTISS 9), Trainee/Officer I (CONTISS 8), and Trainee Officer II (CONTISS 7).
According to the NUC, candidates for the Senior Officer post are expected to hold a PhD in a relevant discipline or a Master’s degree with at least six years of post-qualification experience. Additional professional certifications will be an advantage.
The Commission further outlined requirements for other roles.
“Applicants for Trainee/Officer I must possess a master’s degree or a first degree with a minimum of three years of relevant experience, while Trainee Officer II candidates are required to have at least a first degree in a related field,” it added.
Recruitment also covers Confidential Secretary I (CONTISS 7) positions, requiring a Higher National Diploma in Secretarial Studies and three years’ post-qualification experience.
Clerical and auxiliary roles include Assistant Cameraman, Data Processing Assistant, Artisan/Craftsman (such as carpenter, plumber, electrician, and air-conditioning mechanic), Lift Operator, and Motor Driver/Mechanic. Minimum qualifications range from a First School Leaving Certificate to an ‘O’ Level certificate with trade test credentials, supported by relevant technical training or experience.
Established in 1962 and given statutory powers in 1974, the NUC oversees accreditation, the licensing of new universities, and the enforcement of quality standards across Nigeria’s 283 recognised universities—comprising 72 federal, 67 state, and 168 private institutions.If You’re Reading From Phoenix Click On Read Original at the top To Read Full Article
